Abstract:
:Semen analyses were performed and serum and seminal plasma prolactin (PRL) concentrations were determined in 165 samples from 120 men seen with their wives because of infertility. The mean (+/- standard deviation) serum and seminal plasma PRL concentrations were 6.5 +/- 3.3 and 7.5 +/- 3.1 ng/ml, respectively. The mean concentrations of PRL in serum and seminal plasma were similar in groups of men divided by sperm concentration. Seven men had an increased serum PRL concentration. Three of these 7 men had sperm concentrations less than 20 million/ml and none of these 7 men had an increased seminal plasma PRL concentration. Four men had an increased seminal plasma PRL concentration; the serum PRL concentration, sperm concentrations, and motilities were normal in all 4. No man had a decreased serum or seminal plasma PRL concentration. Increased serum PRL concentrations were found infrequently and the increase was slight (23.2 ng/ml or less). Seminal plasma PRL concentrations were related directly to sperm concentrations and motilities, relationships that were statistically significant.
