AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates calcium levels in the seminal plasma of both normal and infertile men.
- Semen samples were collected from 34 normal men and 112 infertile patients, with calcium levels measured after separating the seminal plasma.
- Results show a significant reduction in calcium levels in oligozoospermia and asthenozoospermia compared to normal and other infertile groups, suggesting potential implications for these conditions.
Article Abstract
Introduction: In this study an attempt is made to find out the level of calcium in seminal plasma of normal and infertile patients.
Materials And Methods: Semen samples are collected from 34 normal men and 112 infertile patients. After semen evaluation seminal plasma was separated and calcium level was measured in it.
Results: Calcium level in mg% is recorded in each group as follows; in normozospermia (n34) 20.14 ± 1.25 (±SE), oligozoospermia (n26) 9.76 ± 1.17, azoospermia (n33) 14.65 ± 2.63, oligoasthenozoosperma (n28) 20.91 ± 1.94 and in asthenozoospermia (n25) 11.56 ± 1.68. Statistically highly significant reduction in calcium is seen in Oligozoospermia and asthenozoospermia.
Conclusions: The probable reasons for these two conditions are discussed.
