- Abstract
Oxidation of Sperm thiol during sperm maturation is important for sperm components stabilization, the acquisition of sperm motility and the fertilizing ability. The aim of the present study was to measure the sulfhydryloxidase concentration in serum and semen and to look for the association between seminal plasma sulfhydryl oxidase with some of semen parameters in infertile male. The current study included three groups of Iraqi male, 30 infertile patients (15 with oligospermia, 15 with azoospermia) and 15 fertile healthy as a control group. Serum and semen sulfhydryl oxidase concentration was measured in all studied groups. The results of the comparison between this parameters in fertile and non fertile individuals showed. A significant decrease (p< 0.05) in serum sulfhydryl oxidase concentration of oligospermia, a highly significant increase (p< 0.001) of azoospermia. Meantime highly significant increase (p< 0.001) in semen sulfhydryl oxidase concentration of azoospermia, a highly significant decrease (p< 0.001) of oligospermia group. As well as highly significant variations (p< 0.001) between these two patients groups in serum and semen were observed. The personal correlation revealeda significant positive correlation between serum & semen sulfhydryl oxidase concentration in oligospermia group (r = 0.79*, p<0.05). Meanwhile, the correlation between semen SOx in fertile and infertile group with semen parameters revealed a significant positive correlation between semen sulfhydryl oxidase concentration and sperm progressive motility in oligospermia group (r=o.61*, p<0.05) with no correlation with semen count was found.
