Role of pyridoxine and oxidative stress in asthenozoospermia.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Infertility is a worldwide concern, and recent research indicates that vitamin B₆ deficiency may play a role in male infertility, primarily by inducing hyperhomocysteinemia and oxidative stress. These processes can have a detrimental effect on semen quality, ultimately affecting male fertility. Here, we aim to evaluate the biochemical status of pyridoxine (vitamin B₆) in relation to total glutathione and total antioxidant capacity.

Materials and methods

A case control study samples were collected of asthenozoospermic (n = 63) and normospermic (n = 43) cases, with average men age 30.35 ± 7.03 years old. Semen plasma specimens representing both fertile and sub-fertile men visiting two different secondary care health institute in Irbid province, Jo
