Abstract

Metformin is an anti-hyperglycemic medication used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus. Regardless of its anti-diabetic effect, metformin has a non-genomic action and it could be a beneficial additive to treat the sperm which considered as transcriptionally dormant cell and also a molecule that could rapidly adjust the metabolism of spermatozoa to adapt it to the surrounding environment. Sixty-four normozoospermic semen sample included in the study. Each sample incubated for 30 minutes with metformin (2.5 and 0.5 µM) and SFA was conducted to each sample. There was a significant decrease in total motility (progressive and non-progressive) in samples incubated with both concentrations compared with the neat samples. While the samples incubated with 0.5 µM shows a lower motility compared with 2.5 µM. Metformin significantly reduced total motility of fresh spermatozoa at both concentrations.
