In your fertility clinic, you look at the lab results of a young man. He has a prostate gland the size of a golf ball, a fructose-rich semen, and 10 million sperm per ml. His sperm consist of little more than DNA, mitochondria, and a flagellum, with almost no cytoplasm. Also, he has follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) in his bloodstream. Which of these is the likely cause of his fertility problems?
