| Popis: | INTRODUCTION Seminal plasma composition reflects the activity of reproductive organs involved in the semen production. AIM To study procalcitonin concentrations in serum and semen samples of healthy men and men with oligoasthenozoospermia. METHOD s .The study included 88 men, who were scheduled for diagnostic evaluation to establish the cause of infertile marriages. The study group comprised 40 men with oligoasthenozoospermia, the comparison group included 48 men with normal sperm concentration. Laboratory testing of all participants revealed no abnormal findings in blood count, blood chemistry studies and urinalysis. RESULTS Mean seminal plasma procalcitonin level in the study subjects (n=87) was 0,349+/-0,370 ng/ml being about 10 times higher than its serum level, which was 0.037+/-0.027 ng/ml (p |
