Abstract:
:Freshly ejaculated semen specimens from 20 normal fertile, 11 subfertile, and 20 vasectomized men whose semen analyses had reached complete azoospermia were compared. The mean levels of seminal acid phosphatase were significantly higher in the vasectomized men. The mean values of sialic acid in normal and postvasectomy seminal plasmas were similar, in contrast to the lower values in oligospermic men. No significant differences were observed in seminal plasma proteins, alkaline phosphatase, and fructose levels. No correlation was found between seminal alkaline phosphatase and fructose levels and sperm concentration. Azoospermia occurring after vas ligation was attributed to high phosphatase values.
