Abstract

Analysis of seminal fluid samples from 20 ADS cases is reported for the first time. A significant decrease in the total volume of complete semen sample and sperm concentration was observed. Percentage of morphologically abnormal sperms was higher in samples from ADS cases than controls, though no linear correlation was observed with amount and duration of alcohol consumption. Analysis of blood samples from five ADS cases, using radio immunoassay techniques showed low testosterone values. LH, FSH and Prolactin values were within normal range. The study shows that alcohol consumption fo a considerable period, affects spermatogenesis, spermiogenesis and causes oligozoospermia. The effect probably are reversible.
