A Determination of Zinc in Serum and Epressed Prostatic Secretion with Prostatitis
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
Zinc is an antibacterial factor and its levels in the expressed prostatic secretion correlate with the secretory function of the prostatic gland. So we have performed an assay for zinc on serum and expressed prostatic secretion in 25 consecutive patients with documented chronic prostatic inflammation along with 29 controls.
There is no remarkable difference(p>0.5) of zinc concentration in the serum between patient group(mean:69.7㎍/ml) and control group(mean:69.9㎍/ml), but in the expressed prostatic secretion, the difference of zinc concentration between patient group(mean :517㎍/ml) and control group(mean : 1071.9㎍/ml) was significant(P<0.005).
