SUMMARY
Published and anecdotal reports have claimed
various sperm parameters improved after antioxidant
treatment for male infertility. Accordingly,
we evaluated the effects of Pycnogenol
Ò, a potent
antioxidant, on abnormal sperm parameters in a
small group of subfertile men. Four subfertile male
patients received PycnogenolÒ tablets, 200 mg
orally per day, for 90 days, after which all sperm
tests were repeated. Pre- and post-PycnogenolÒ
treatment sperm tests included: count, motility
score and strict (Kruger) morphology, both before
and after capacitation with Ham’s F-10 solution
(swim-up); direct sperm antibodies; and mannose
receptor binding for sperm function.
