Patient's question:
As a boy, seeing online that sperm is protein, and if a tubal egg is fertilized, it will form a zygote and then develop into a child, the formation of sperm requires multiple reasons, and he wants to know what is the chemical formula of sugar?Doctor's answer:
Sperm is a reproductive cell, not a simple chemical substance, and does not have a chemical name. The main sugar in semen is fructose, most of which comes from pyruvate, a breakdown product of fructose in the seminal vesicles. It releases energy to the sperm during ejaculation and disappears from the semen very quickly afterward. Fructose primarily originates from the secretion of the seminal vesicles, making it the main sugar in semen and one of the important nutritional components for sperm. The chemical formula of sperm is extremely complex, composed of various substances including proteins, lecithin, and some trace elements, sugars, and more.
