Abstract:Summary
The enzymatic activities of aminotransferases AST and ALT have been measured in the semen of a group of 98 subjects undergoing fertility studies, correlated with spermatic density and motility. An AST/ALT ratio was obtained for all patients. The results indicate that there exists a correlation between both enzymes' activities and spermatic density and motility. In two cases of excretory azoospermia, an elevated AST/ALT relation was obtained, while in two cases of secretory azoospermia a low AST/ALT rat… Show more
