Purpose: Infertility is a worldwide concern, and recent research indicates that vitamin B6 deficiency may play a role in male infertility, primarily by inducing hyperhomocysteinemia and oxidative stress. These processes can have a detrimental effect on semen quality, ultimately affecting male fertility. Here, we aim to evaluate the biochemical status of pyridoxine (vitamin B6) in relation to total glutathione and total antioxidant capacity. Materials and methods: A case control study samples were collected of asthenozoospermic (n = 63) and normospermic (n = 43) cases, with average men age 30.35 ± 7.03 years old. Semen plasma specimens representing both fertile and sub-fertile men visiting two different secondary care health institute in Irbid province, Jordan. All samples were assessed according to WHO guidelines (2021) and by using spectrophotometry to evaluate the semen plasma levels of vitamin B6, glutathione (GSH) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC). Results: Our main finding is there is significant positive correlations between the seminal plasma concentration of GSH (p |
