Inhibition of cryoglobulin synthesis as a method of positive influence on spermogram indices (clinical observations).

Introduction: Cold-shock precipitating proteins - cryoglobulins damage various vessels and, depending on the localization of damages, may lead to functional disorders of various organs and body systems. Evidently, cryoglobulinemia may have a negative influence on the reproductive system's condition, thus, this process requires detailed study.

[The anti-immunodepressive action of kumiss made from cow's milk].

Data are submitted from the experimental study of anti-immunodepressive effects of koumiss from cow milk.
