Abstract
The effect of alcohol on spermatogenesis and sperm morphology has been of interest to many andrologists. Six adult male vervet monkeys were utilized to evaluate the effect of ethanol on semen quality. A decrease of the percentage of normal spermatozoa was observed after 10 months of exposure to alcohol.
