Abstract
It is possible that, if serial ejaculates are examined, sustained alterations in the testicular hormone output of the normal man might be reflected in shifts in the fructose concentration of semen. No evidence of an androgen deficiency or excess could be adduced from the seminal fructose concentrations of patients with oligospermia or azoospermia.Keywords
