Testosterone, FSH and LH in human spermatic and cubital venous plasma in post-inflammatory azoospermia.

Abstract

The testosterone, FSH and LH plasma levels were determined simultaneously in spermatic and cubital veins in 15 patients with post-inflammatory azoospermia. The testosterone levels in spermatic vein was 13,1 +/- 2,9 times higher than in cubital vein. FSH spermatic plasma level was slightly higher than in cubital vein, whereas LH spermatic plasma level did not differ from that found in the cubital vein.
