Decreased very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in sperm correlates with sperm quantity and quality

ConclusionThis study revealed a positive correlation between the levels of VLC-PUFA with sperm count and total motile count and suggests that both sperm quality and quantity may depend on the presence of VLC-PUFA. The lack of correlation between VLC-PUFA and DHA suggests that low VLC-PUFA levels do not result from inadequate PUFA precursors.
