The aim of this work was to study the hormonal status androgen-dependent indicators of the ejaculate, spermatogram parameters and liver transaminases in the blood of the infertile males for the treatment of arginine, carnitine and betaine. Materials and methods: The parameters of spermograms, the levels of testosterone, estradiol, alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase in the blood, and concentration of fructose in the ejaculate of 31 men with idiopathic pathospermia before and after using the L-Betargin, which contains 1 gram of arginine, 300 mg of L-carnitine and 1 gram of betaine. Results: It is shown that after treatment there is an increase of sperm concentration and their motility, increase the level of fructose in the ejaculate. It is established that the positive effect on spermatogenesis, L-Betargin associated with activation of endocrine function of the testes, improving the androgen-estrogen balance and functional state of the liver in men with infertility. Conclusions: The use of L-Betargin for a month in men with idiopathic pathospermia leads to an increase in the concentration of sperm and increase their motility, while normalizing all parameters of the spermogram.
