Abstract
Assessment of the level of seminal zinc and fructose concentration in seminal plasma of Vietnamese infertile men
Highlights
Infertility is defined as the failure of a couple to achieve a pregnancy after at least one year of frequent unprotected intercourse.[1,2] It has been reported that the male partner contributes in 40% of the cases of infertility
The role of seminal fructose concentration does lie in the assessment of seminal vesicle dysfunction and in conjunction with other seminal properties could give a useful indication of male reproductive function whilst seminal zinc concentration might not be most appropriate for the assessment of male reproductive dysfunction. This is the first study to demonstrate that the increase of seminal fructose and decrease of zinc concentrations may reflected by high sperm DNA damage
Some sperm characteristic and seminal fructose concentration were demonstrated in charts
Summary
Infertility is defined as the failure of a couple to achieve a pregnancy after at least one year of frequent unprotected intercourse.[1,2] It has been reported that the male partner contributes in 40% of the cases of infertility. The incidence of fertility is estimated to be about 13-18%.1,3. Due to the various reasons caused male infertility, it is essential to identify appropriate diagnosis methods to detect them. There are many tests that have been applied for several decades such as semen analysis, genetic tests and hormones methods. Some of biochemical markers including zinc and fructose are becoming significant implications for diagnosing the cause in male infertility.[4] They have been established as good indicators of human male fertility. An understanding of the factors affecting these characteristics is critical to proper understanding of the mechanisms underlying male infertility.[5,6]
