Low spermatozoal ATP concentration in the presence of high alpha-glucosidase activity may indicate efficient epididymal function. It was suggested that detached ciliary tufts (DCTs) originated from the epididymis. We compared the spermatozoal ATP concentration and alpha-glucosidase activity in semen of patients with DCTs to that of a control group. Higher ATP concentration and lower alpha-glucosidase activity were found in patients with DCTs in their semen compared to the control group. These results might probably point out impaired epididymal function and further support the proposed epididymal origin of these tufts.
在α-葡萄糖苷酶活性高的情况下精子ATP浓度低可能表明附睾功能正常。有人提出分离的睫状束（DCTs）起源于附睾。我们比较了患有DCTs的患者精液中的精子ATP浓度和α-葡萄糖苷酶活性与对照组的情况。与对照组相比，患有DCTs的患者精液中ATP浓度较高而α-葡萄糖苷酶活性较低。这些结果可能指出附睾功能受损，并进一步支持这些束状结构起源于附睾的观点。
