Abstract
The activities of the enzymes creatine phosphokinase (CPK), acid phosphatase (AcP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and the amount of zinc and fructose was studied in ejaculates from 100 men, aged 24 to 43, and undergoing investigation because of infertility.No significant correlation was found between the CPK activity of the semen and the number, motility or appearance of the spermatozoa. A significant correlation was found between the activity of CPK, on one band, and the activity of AcP and LDH and the amount of zinc on the other. A significant, negative correlation was demonstrated between the activity of CPK and the amount of fructose.Sixty-five of the 100 men were investigated for chronic prostatitis. AcP and zinc levels were significantly lower in men with chronic prostatitis than in those without demonstrable inflammation, but this was not the case for CPK, LDH and fructose. No significant difference was found in the number of spermatozoa, their motility or appearance between men with chronic inflamm...
