    Journal: Eur Urol; 1990; 17(1):69-71. PubMed ID: 2138554.
    Abstract:
    The triple ATPase activities of washed spermatozoa of oligoasthenospermic men (but not of normals) were enhanced by the addition of caffeine and theophylline, which are known to have a stimulating effect on sperm motility. The biochemical mechanism of action of caffeine and theophylline on sperm homeostasis is discussed.
