Zinc, Magnesium and Gamma Glutamyltransferase levels in Human Seminal fluid

چکیده
Results: Compared with the other groups, oligospermic group had the highest proportion of specimens with abnormal liquefaction (26.0%) and leukocyte counts (32.0%). Both oligospermic and asthenospermic groups had comparable sperm motility, which was lower than that in normospermia (p < 0.05). The mean levels of γ-GT and Mg in oligospermia were significantly lower than that in all other groups. The mean Zn levels in oligospermia and azoospermia were lower than that in the other two groups. Significant positive correlation was observed between γ-GT, Zn and Mg in all four groups. The mean levels of γ-GT, Zn and Mg correlated positively with sperm count and motility only in the normospermic group.

Background & Objective: There are many common infections and inflammations among people over the world. This demands an affordable and reliable test with high sensitivity/specificity to predict or confirm the diagnosis of such cases in routinely clinical practice. In the present study, we aimed to find any potential correlation between serum levels of GGT and CRP- Q and/or hs- CRP and ...

Background: There are several causes leading to male infertility, like oxidative stress, and nutritional deficiency of trace elements i.e., selenium and zinc. The Zinc is the following only to iron as the most abundant element in the body. Although, Zinc is found in red meat, white meat, fish, and milk; the World Health Organization (WHO) approximates that one-third of world population is defic...

Background: Zinc in human semen seems to play an important role in the physiology of spermatozoa. Zinc deficiency leads to gonadal dysfunction, decreases testicular weight, and causes shrinkage of seminiferous tubules. The adult human body contains 1-3 g of zinc, about 0.1% of which is replenished daily. Excessively high amounts of zinc has been reported in human seminal plasma by many authors,...

Background: Oxidative stress and decreased antioxidant levels have been projected as a potential factors involved in the pathophysiology of diverse male infertility types, including asthenospermia. The generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the male reproductive tract has become an actual concern because of their probable noxious effects, at high levels, on physical properties of sperm ...
