Zero magnetic field influence on human spermatozoa glucose consumption

摘要

Free energy released from the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate is required for spermatozoa movement, and the spermatozoa velocity is influenced by magnetic field. Since glucose is necessary for maintenance of optimal adenosine triphosphate levels, a question arises: is the human spermatozoa glucose consumption influenced by zero magnetic field conditions? The effect of zero magnetic field on human semen glucose consumption was investigated in connection with the main natural fertilization parameters: viability and motility of spermatozoa cells. We report, for the first time, that human spermatozoa glucose consumption is accelerated in vitro in zero magnetic field conditions.
