Poor quality semen may result from abnormal sperm production in testes; post testicular damage of spermatozoa in the epididymis, or abnormal secretions of male sex accessory glands. These glands are made of epithelial & mesenchymal cells requiring 'Androgen' for proliferation and functioning.

The epididymis makes significant contribution to the development of fertile sperm through four classical functions: sperm maturation, sperm transport, sperm concentration & sperm storage. α-Glycosidase represents as Bio-marker of Epididymis, as its major contribution is from Epididymis. The evaluation of α-Glycosidase is regarded as a reliable parameter of Epididymal potency.
