The aim of this study was to investigate the comparison between some seminal plasma parameters and age of the bull. Concentrations of various biochemical parameters like fructose, glucose, total proteins, albumin and inorganic ions including Na, K and Cl ions of seminal plasma of breeding Sahiwal bulls of different ageswere assessed. Methods: 40Sahiwal bullsdivided into 4 age groups.Semen (2ml ...

AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the hemodynamics of varicocele using Doppler ultrasonography and scrotal scintigraphy, and to compare the value of these two methods in the prediction of seminal improvement after varicocelectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 40 men with left sided varicocele presented for surgery because of infertility of at least one year in duration. Preoperati...

Background Levels of serum gonadotropins have direct effects on testicular functions and spermatogenesis. Assessment of levels of serum gonadotropins from fathered subjects and infertile patients indicates wide range diversity. In this study, we tried to find out whether the levels of seminal FSH and LH affect the parameters of seminal fluid analysis (SFA) and if there is any correlation betwee...

background: to determine any correlation between infertility and semen quality with concentrations of l-carnitine in human seminal plasma. methods: this case-control study performed in fatemieh hospital in hamadan, iran. seminal plasma of 72 infertile men and 80 men with proved fertility as a control group was investigated and l-carnitine level was determined using uv enzymatic test at 340 nm. ...

the environmental pollution is one of the factors contributing to the decrease of sperm quality for human beings. the aim of this study was to assess cadmium (cd), chromium (cr), and copper (cu) concentration of man in environmental pollution site, and explore relationships between men exposure to cd, cr, and cu and semen-quality parameters in environmental pollution site.ninety five men were r...

Aim: Infertility is a global problem affecting both males and females. It condition with psychological, economic, medical implications resulting in trauma stress, particularly society where there strong emphasis on childbearing. The study therefore aims to investigate the pattern of some sperm proteins, anti-oxidants, prostate-specific antigen seminal plasma infertile cell deformities.

To study the influence of season on oxidative status of buffalo semen and their association with semen characteristics and seminal plasma proteins, ejaculates were collected twice a week in winter, summer and rainy seasons from six adult Bhadawari buffalo bulls. The neat semen was analyzed for semen characteristics immediately after collection and oxidative status viz. lipid peroxidation (LPO),...

Some biological aspects of semen were investigated in the Persian sturgeon, Acipenser persicus, by determination of seminal plasma indices (ionic composition and osmolality), sperm density and their relationships with sperm motility. The osmolality of seminal plasma ranged from 42.00 to 111.00 mOsmol Kg-1. The concentrations of Sodium (Na+), Potassium (K+), Chloride (Cl-), Calcium (Ca2+) and Ma...

Mutual relationships between selected chemical elements (Na, K, Fe, Cu, Mg, and Zn), basic motility characteristics (motility and progressive motility), and markers of the oxidative balance (superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione, albumin, and malondialdehyde) were investigated in bovine seminal plasma and spermatozoa. Computer assisted sperm analysis was used to assess the motility parame...
