“…Moreover, a significant ( p < 0.05) relationship was found between sperm viability and the content of Ca (r = 0.58), Mg (r = 0.41), Fe (r = 0.87), and Cu (r = 0.67) in the semen plasma. These results indicate the influence of the tested element in the semen plasma on sperm motility and viability [ 44 ]. Sodium and potassium have been shown to be involved in the acrosomal reaction and are also associated with the normal functioning of sperm [ 40 , 41 ].…”

“…Variation in the values of Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ in seminal plasma is associated with infertility and poorer quality of semen quality [ 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 ]. During the research on roosters, semen was collected from 10 birds, which were assessed in terms of sperm viability and motility, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, and copper content [ 44 ]. The mean content for these examined elements were, respectively: 6.52 ± 0.4 mg/dL for Ca; 3.89 ± 0.18 mg/dL for P; 3.89 ± 0.2 mg/dL for Mg; 231.58 ± 6.23 μg/dL for Fe; and 425.40 ± 17.18 μg/dL for Cu.…”

Electrolyte balance is essential to maintain homeostasis in the body. The most crucial electrolytes are sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), magnesium (Mg2+), chloride (Cl−), and calcium (Ca2+). These ions maintain the volume of body fluids, and blood pressure, participate in muscle contractions, and nerve conduction, and are important in enzymatic reactions. The balance is mainly ensured by the kidneys, which are an important organ that regulates the volume and composition of urine, together with which excess electrolytes are excreted. They are also important in the reproductive system, where they play a key role. In the male reproductive system, electrolytes are important in acrosomal reaction and sperm motility. Sodium, calcium, magnesium, and chloride are related to sperm capacitation. Moreover, Mg2+, Ca2+, and Na+ play a key role in spermatogenesis and the maintenance of morphologically normal spermatozoa. Infertility problems are becoming more common. It is known that disturbances in the electrolyte balance lead to reproductive dysfunction. In men, there is a decrease in sperm motility, loss of sperm capacitation, and male infertility. In the female reproductive system, sodium is associated with estrogen synthesis. In the contraction and relaxation of the uterus, there is sodium, potassium, and calcium. Calcium is associated with oocyte activation. In turn, in women, changes in the composition of the follicular fluid are observed, leading to a restriction of follicular growth. Imbalance of oocyte electrolytes, resulting in a lack of oocyte activation and, consequently, infertility.

“…O P é um dos componentes da membrana celular, participando do processo de formação de fosfolipídios juntamente ao ácido graxo e glicerol e uma molécula nitrogenada (ALBERTS et al, 2017). O extrato aquoso apresentou quantidade de P maior do que a encontrada no sêmen de galos (GHANIEI et al, 2018). Outro estudo demonstrou a relação positiva entre os elementos Cobre (Cu) e o P, no plasma seminal de touros, quando se analisou os parâmetros de qualidade dos ejaculados (MÁCHAL et al, 2002).…”
