LIPID PEROXIDATION IN MEN WITH INFERTILITY

Abstract

There are many causal factors infringing reproductive health of men, including overweight that is associated with dysfunction of such system as lipid peroxidation and antioxidant protection. According to the results of study of two groups of infertile men with different body mass index we found that men with excess body weight have more pronounced imbalance in the system of lipid peroxidation compared to infertile men with normal body weight. As a material for biochemical studies we used blood serum. Content of substrates for lipid peroxidation - the compounds with isolated double bonds and products of lipid peroxidation processes (diene conjugates, ketodienes and conjugated trienes, thiobarbituric acid active substances) - were determined on spektrofluorofotometre «SH1MADZU-1501» (Japan). At the analysis of intergroup differences for independent samples parametric Student's T-criterion was used.
