Several theories were proposed to explain the pathophysiology of varicocele-related infertility seen in some patients. Our aim was to study the levels of angiotensin II in semen and angiotensin II type 2 receptor expression on spermatozoa in varicocele patients in relation to their fertility status and to evaluate the influence of varicocelectomy on their levels in infertile varicocele patients. Thirty fertile and 30 infertile varicocele patients and 30 healthy controls were subjected to measurement of reproductive hormones, semen analysis, measurement of seminal angiotensin II and evaluation of angiotensin II type 2 receptor expression on spermatozoa.
