Official Title: Effect of Treatment With Myo-inositol on Human Semen Parameters in Patients Undergoing IVF Cycles
Brief Summary:
Many clinical evidences suggest that Myo-inositol plays a crucial role in human reproduction. Also, it was shown that Myo-inositol concentration in the seminiferous tubules was higher than in serum, and interestingly it was increasing through the epididymis and the deferent duct mining that sperm cell before ejaculation are stored in a "medium" highly enriched in myo-inositol.
Starting from this evidences, the investigators hypothesized that myo-inositol may be a possible factor able to improve the semen parameters of samples used in in vitro fertilization cycles.
