The ionic contents, pH and osmolality of seminal plasma and their relationships to sperm motility indices (sperm motility duration and percentage of motile sperm) were evaluated in bester. Semen was collected from six bester specimens and their seminal plasma was evaluated. The seminal plasma contained 54.5±2.8 mM sodium, 22.33±2.5 mM chloride, 7.1±1.2 mM potassium, 3.55±0.6 mM calcium and 0.58...

in order to determine calcium (ca), magnesium (mg) content and total antioxidant capacity (tac) of seminal plasma in buffalo and to study their associations with the semen characteristics, 54 semen samples were collected from 10 buffalo bulls; semen quality was evaluated, seminal plasma was then harvested by centrifugation and its ca and mg content were estimated and its tac determined. the ca ...

background: the seminal plasma is an excellent source for noninvasive detection of spermatogenesis. the seminal plasma of normospermic and azoospermic men has been analyzed for detection of spermatogenesis. methods: optical spectroscopy (attenuated total reflectance-infrared spectroscopy (atr-ir) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir) has been used to analyze the seminal plasma and...

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate seminal plasma coenzyme Q10 levels and oxidative stress in patients with different types of male infertility. Materials and Methods: The study took place in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, College of Medicine, Al-Nahrain University- Baghdad-Iraq from the period of November 2004 till July 2006. Sixty patients with male infertility w...

background: the human seminal fluid is a complex body fluid. it is not known how many proteins are expressed in the seminal plasma; however in analog with the blood it is possible up to 10,000 proteins are expressed in the seminal plasma. the human seminal fluid is a rich source of potential biomarkers for male infertility and reproduction disorder. methods: in this review, the ongoing list of ...

the objective of this study was to investigate aspartate-amino-transferase (ast), γ-glutamyl-transferase(ggt), alkaline phosphatase (alp), lactate-dehydrogenase (ldh) and acid phosphatase (acp) activities andsemen parameters (volume, ph, concentration, total sperm number (tsn), progressive motility, dead sperm,total morphological defect (tmd) and hypo-osmotic swelling test (host)) in seminal pl...

two experiments were designed to examine the effects of crude seminal plasma (csp) exposure ofejaculated and epididymal spermatozoa before freezing. experiment 1, two consecutive ejaculates werecollected (n=4) within 5 min, the second one was carried out in a tube containing fiser extender (coatedspermatozoa); by centrifugation, seminal plasma was removed from coated ejaculates. the pellets wer...

semen hyperviscosity (shv) is one of the factors involved in deficiency in sperm function. this research aimed to evaluate seminal plasma total antioxidant capacity (tac) and malondialdehyde (mda) levels in infertile patients with hyperviscous and non-hyperviscous semen samples to understand whether hyperviscous semen is associated with oxidative damage in infertile subjects. in this cross sect...

Bovine Leukemia ProVirus: Evidence of Presence of Part of Gag Gene in Seminal Plasma of Naturally Infected Bulls It is of critical importance to understand the modalities of BLV presence in semen, especially with regard to artificial insemination (AI). Presence of bovine leukemia provirus was demonstrated in fresh and frozen semen samples by researchers. In this study paired blood and semen sam...
