The relation of the proteolytic activity of human seminal plasma to various semen characteristics.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Proteolytic activity, acid phosphatase activity and fructose concentration were measured in seminal plasma from 205 human semen samples. Certain routine sperm characteristics were also determined. High fibrinolytic activity was found and TAME-esterase and proteinase activity was also present in all specimens. The activity of all the proteolytic enzymes correlated positively with the acid phosphatase activity suggesting the prostate gland to be the origin of the enzymes. TAME\x=req-\ esterase activity was inversely related to the seminal fructose content. No correlation was observed between sperm characteristics and the seminal proteolytic enzymes. The specimens with abnormal viscosity usually contained low proteinase activity.

Background: Oligoasthenospermia (OAS) is a condition characterized by low sperm count associated with low sperm motility. Medical treatment is not known in allopathic system for treatment of oligoasthenospermia. Homeopathic medicine is effective in more than 95% patients. Oxidative stress and decreased antioxidant levels have been projected as a potential factors involved in the pathophysiology...

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 ...

Background Leukocytes linked directly and indirectly to reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation. Although leukocytospermia is defined as the presence of ≥1×106 white blood cells/mL (WBC/mL) in a semen sample, the presence of less than 1×106 WBC/mL (low-level leukocytospermia) still can produce a detectable amount of ROS, impairing sperm function and lowering the chances of pregnancy. Low concen...
