Yeast and Fertility: Effects of In Vitro Activity of Candida spp. on Sperm Quality.

Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: BACKGROUND: and their soluble factors of fungal metabolism on semen quality were studied. METHODS: spp. and soluble factors. Finally, spermatozoa were incubated with mannose before incubation with either yeast to block sperm and yeast interaction. Data was analyzed using Friedman test, and p<0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS: spp. CONCLUSION: affects seminal parameters. The effect is related to incubation time and yeast concentration, it can be supposed that the yeast sperm interaction is mediated through the mannose sperm receptor.
