...K. Terai; K. Yoshida; M. Yoshiike; M. Fujime; T. Iwamoto Seminal plasma motility inhibitors (SPMIs) are proteinase-resistant fragments of semenogelin I and II (Sgs), which are the major proteins of semen coagulum. SPMIs inhibit the motility of spermatozoa, and Sgs are thought to be natural...

...Mete Cek; Sacide Cûrgûl; Mehmet Ertas; Tuncay Sözer; Zuhal Alpacar Seminal plasma transferrin levels as well as serum FSH and LH levels were measured in fertile (normozoospermic) and infertile (oligozoospermic and azoospermic) men in an effort to find out whether transferrin levels correlated...

...Hideki Fuse; Masaou Okumura; Mamoru Sakamoto; Taizo Kazama; Takashi Katayama Epidermal growth factor (EGF) content in seminal plasma of 17 patients with androgen deficiency (12 Klinefelter’s syndrome and 5 hypogonadotropic hypogonadism) was determined before and after hormone replacement...

...Åke Jansson; Gunnar Ronquist; Goran Frithz Seminal plasma from 40 men attending an infertility clinic was analyzed for phospholipase A activity and compared with serum from 20 healthy blood donors. The imprecision of the method was acceptable and the overall coefficient of variation was 8.1...

...Gunnar Ronquist The activities of fucosyltransferase, galactosyltransferase, and sialyltransferase were estimated in ultra-centrifuged seminal plasma samples from normospermic and oligospermic men. There was no significant difference with regard to these activities between the two groups. Hence...

...Mats Lindahl; Christer Tagesson; Gunnar Ronquist Phospholipase A 2 (PLA 2 ) activity was measured and partially characterized in prostasomes isolated from human seminal plasma. The results show high PLA 2 activity in seminal plasma with a threefold enrichment in the isolated prostasomes. Highest...

...Gunnar Ronquist; Bernd Stegmayr; Cecilia Andrén; Katarina Wikström The galactosyltransferase activity was determined in seminal plasma from 24 men with various sperm characteristics subdivided in three different groups and from 9 men subjected to vasectomy for the purpose of voluntary sterilization...

...Temuçin Şenkul; Yavuz Narin; Cüneyt İşeri; Bülent Şen; Kenan Karademir; Doǧan Erden Introduction: We evaluated the role of the seminal plasma PSA level in the prediction of the response to α-blocker treatment in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. Materials and Methods: 18 male patients...
