[ 1 ] - Effect of Zinc Supplementation on Urate Pathway Enzymes in Spermatozoa and Seminal Plasma of Iraqi Asthenozoospermic Patients: A Randomized Clinical Trial
a:4:{s:9:"Objective";s:402:"Uric acid (UA) is crucial for sperm metabolism; it protects seminal plasma against oxidative damage. Zinc, too, plays a central role in sperm metabolism. The current study was designed to investigate the role of zinc supplementation on the qualitative and quantitative properties of seminal fluid, in parallel with the UA level and urate pathway enzymes in the semen of...
[ 2 ] - O-8: Study of Peroxynitrite Levels, Arginase Activity and NO Synthase Activity in Seminal Plasma of Iraqi Leukocytospermic Patients
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...
