Abstract
|
|
|
lipids play an important role in the spermatozoa and thus male fertility. An environment rich in cholesterol has an inhibitory effect on the mobility of the spermatozoa and their ability to fertilize an ovula. Phospholipids from an integral part
of
the
sperm membrane and may be involved in membrane transport and enzyme activities. Phospholipids also have an important role in meeting the energy requirements during cell porliferation and maturation of spermatozoa.
In this study, we measured total cholesterol and phospholipids of seminal fluids which were originated from semen samples for semen analysis in Seoul National University Hospital Concurrent ly we compared the contents of semianal fluid with those
of
serum, and analysed seminal concentrations according to various parameters of semen analysis.
@ES The results were as follows.
@EN 1) The mean concentration of cholesterol in 235 samples was 61.2mg/dl (SD, 31.5mg/dl) and there were no significant differences between cholesterol concentrations according to various parameters of semen analysis.
2) The mean concentration of phospholipids in 64 samples was 970.5mg/dl (DS, 232.8mg/dl), and there were no significant differences of cholesterol and phospholipids concentrations between normal, oligospermic and azoospermic group.
3) Neither cholesterol nor phospholipids had correlations between the concentrations of seminal fluid and serum.
