Correlation between semen quality and the seminal biochemical markers: alpha-glucosidase, fructose, and zinc in infertile men compared with a normal population of men
The level of fructose was significantly decreased in asthenozoospermic and increased in oligoasthenoteratozoospermic (OAT) men. It was significantly correlated with semen volume, sperm concentration, progressive motility and morphology. Seminal neutral -glucosidase and zinc levels were found significantly reduced in azoospermic and OAT patients. The seminal NAG levels were significantly correlated with semen volume and progressive motility. For zinc level, the concentration was significantly correlated with sperm concentration (r = 0.041, p < 0.001).
