Coenzyme Q10 treatment in infertile men with low motility

Conclusion:

The exogenous administration of coenzyme Q10 is effective in improving sperm motility in patients affected by idiopathic asthenozoospermia.  Fertility & Sterility, Volume 91, Issue 5, Pages 1785-1792 (May 2009)
 
Objective
To evaluate the effectiveness of coenzyme Q10 treatment in improving semen quality in men with idiopathic (unexplained) infertility.
 
Patients
Sixty infertile patients (27–39 years of age) with poor concentration, motility, and morphology.
 
Intervention
Patients underwent double-blind therapy with coenzyme Q10, 200 mg/day, or placebo; the study design was 1 month of run-in, 6 months of therapy or placebo, and 3 months of follow-up.
 
Result
Coenzyme Q10 and ubiquinol increased significantly in both seminal plasma and sperm cells after treatment, as well as spermatozoa motility. A weak linear dependence among the relative variations, baseline and after treatment, of seminal plasma or intracellular coenzyme Q10 and ubiquinol levels and kinetic parameters was found in the treated group. Patients with a lower baseline value of motility and levels of coenzyme Q10 had a statistically significant higher probability to be responders to the treatment.
 
Conclusion:
The exogenous administration of coenzyme Q10 is effective in improving sperm motility in patients affected by idiopathic asthenozoospermia.
