Previous studies have shown that exogenous growth hormone (GH) produces increases in sperm motility when given to subfertile men. Previous studies have also demonstrated the presence of IGFs and IGFBPs in seminal plasma. We have therefore investigated the effects of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), IGF-II, IGF-binding protein 2 (IGFBP-2) and intact IGFBP-3 on in vitro sperm motility.
