G. Vitali et al., CARNITINE SUPPLEMENTATION IN HUMAN IDIOPATHIC ASTHENOSPERMIA - CLINICAL-RESULTS, Drugs under experimental and clinical research, 21(4), 1995, pp. 157-159
On the basis of reported experimental and clinical studies we investig
ated the effectiveness of L-carnitine administration in a group of pat
ients with idiopathic asthenospermia. A favourable effect of the compo
und on sperm motility and rapid linear progression has been shown in 3
7 out of 47 patients treated. In addition, the total number of sperms
increased. L-carnitine was supplemented orally by a daily dosage of 3
g for three months.
