EFFECT OF DIETARY PLANT AND ANIMAL PROTEIN INTAKE ON SPERM QUALITY IN MONKEYS [PDF]
Archives of Andrology, 2001 This study was conducted to evaluate the influence of animal and plant protein diets on sperm quality indices over 120 days, using the vervet monkey (Cercopithecus aethiops), as a model. These experiments were divided into a 60-day period of high-protein consumption (+/-17% crude protein), followed by a 60-day term of sustainable protein intake (+/-9 ...
