When 0-1 mM-S alpha-chlorohydrin was present in incubations, glycolysis by ram testicular spermatozoa was almost completely inhibited whereas 10 mM-R alpha-chlorohydrin had no effect. Male rats dosed orally with S alpha-chlorohydrin (3-25 mg/kg/day) became much less fertile than controls but those dosed with R alpha-chlorohydrin (13 mg/kg/day) did not. The loss of fertility was associated with a reduced ability of spermatozoa from the cauda epididymidis of these rats to oxidize glucose. It is concluded that the S enantiomer is responsible for both the inhibition of sperm glycolysis and the reduction in fertility caused by the racemic mixture of alpha-chlorohydrin.
