Abstract
The use of poly unsaturated fatty acids has pronounced significant effects on the efficiency of male
reproductive system. Poly unsaturated fatty acids like docosahexaenoic acid, omega 3, Omega 6, oleic
and linolinic acid are rich in diets like flaxseed oil, soybean oil, fish oil, sunflower oil. These diets
have the capability to increase serum testosterone level, fertility rate, ejaculation period, sperm
motility, semen volume, sperms concentration and sexual behavior. Similarly, these fatty acids reduce
the oxidative stress and maintain membrane integrity. In this review, some of the basic information
regarding the importance of poly unsaturated fatty acids on semen quality parameters of male is
summarized.
