What is True Corrected Seminal Fructose Level: a Better Marker of the Function of Seminal Vesicles in Infertile Men about?

This study was designed to determine if the value obtained after multiplying motile sperm concentration by seminal fructose concentration, named ‘true corrected fructose’, correlates with sperm motility in asthenozoospermic men. Forty‐two male partners in infertile couples were studied. Men were treated with 100 mg daily of clomiphene citrate for 5 days. Blood and semen samples were collected before treatment and 24 h after the end of treatment. Serum testosterone, seminal fructose and sperm motility were measured in each subject. Corrected fructose (log. sperm concentration multiplied by seminal fructose), and true corrected fructose (log. motile sperm concentration multiplied by seminal fructose) values were calculated. Prevalence of asthenozoospermia was 42.85% (18 of 42). Prevalence of hypofunction of the seminal vesicles was 9.5% using seminal fructose as a marker; 40.5% using seminal corrected fructose as a marker and 47.6% using true corrected fructose as a marker of seminal vesicle function. Regression analysis showed a better coefficient of determination between true corrected fructose and motile sperm concentration (__R__^2^=0.20, __p__ < 0.001) than with corrected fructo
