Abstract
The study objective is to compare the biochemical characteristics of seminal fluid in men with astheno- and teratozoospermia and in men with idiopathic infertility. Materials and methods. We examined 207 patients aged 25 to 45 years. The level of total protein, albumin, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, gamma-glutamyl transferase in seminal fluid was determined on an automatic biochemical analyzer. Results. Similar changes in the biochemical profile of the seminal fluid, in particular, a decrease in the level of albumin, were revealed in infertile men and men with infertility of unclear genesis. Conclusion. Biochemical characteristics of seminal fluid (level of proteins and enzymes) can serve as an indirect marker of male infertility.
