On the diagnostic significance of polyamines in semen of infertile men with asymptomatic inflammation

Abstract

The research has covered the level of spermine and spermidine in spermoplasma of the men with pyospermia and with no inflammation signs. It has been revealed that leucocytospermia normally went together with abnormality of the patients’ spermogram indices. Teratozoospermia and complex forms of sperm pathology prevailed. At that, a significant, as compared to normozoospernia, polyamines regression was seen, spermidine regression to a greater degree. Given their capacity to actively bind with free radicals, case monitoring of spermine and spermidine concentration in ejaculate may help to detect inflammation processes in male reproductive system, especially with latent disease course, and therefore be their curability criterion.
