“…44 Origin of different electrolytes and metals present in semen was identified by using split ejaculation technique. [44][45][46][47][48] Individual and within subject variability in semen element is also reported. 49 Several workers interested in the study of elements in semen reported the level of different elements like sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, 38,50,51 iron, 52 zinc, 39,53 copper, 54,55 cadmium, chromium, nickel and lead.…”

Childlessness remains as a problem with the couple who suffer and they are psychologically and socially very much disturbed Husband, wife or both are likely to be responsible for infertility. Male infertility is on rise world over. Many group of workers are on this study now. Detailed study on semen shall give the exact clue to male fertility status. Other than semen parameters, the biochemistry of semen secured attention of several group of workers. Knowledge in inorganic chemistry of semen limited. Similar studies are in progress at different parts of the world. It is now known increase or decrease of some elements in semen lead to changes in sperm motility or semen quality. In relation to this, we tried to understand more about elements in semen. Considering electrolytes and metals are important for cell functions, few workers are involved in inorganic chemistry of semen study. The present study will improve the existing knowledge on elements in semen. Semen samples were supplied by 10 young, normal, healthy men. Samples were collected after maintaining an abstinence of five days. Collection was done around 9 am to exclude any chrono biological influence. From each sample, seminal plasma was separated at 1 and 3 hours and stored in deep freezer. After thawing and processing, samples were analyzed for elements in it using Inductively Couple Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICPMS). A total number of 28 elements were found in all samples. Their values differed between 1 and 3 hour, either more or less. Study concludes with supporting evidences showing the role of elements in sperm survival or function.

“…We were unable to get consent from patients as this is a retrospective study. Usually laboratories advice patients to collect semen without missing any drop 20 for examination after maintaining an abstinence of 2-5 days. 21,[22][23][24] Semen parameters are influenced by external temperature and daylight duration.…”

Introduction: World over studies are being done by different group of workers to understand the time of deliveries conducted. Surprisingly majority of deliveries were following a pattern, seasonally. Today in this busy world, couples choose comparatively a free time for delivery and preparation for conception is done accordingly. Apart from these, it is clearly shown majority of deliveries are conducted during a particular season. We hypothesised that the change in semen quality during different seasons is responsible for this phenomenon. Materials and methods: Present study conducted on semen quality included 12,408 semen samples collected from different laboratories of Bangalore city during 8 years (2000–2007) period of time and were analysed season wise. Results: Results showed sperm concentration was significantly lower in monsoon than in winter season. Humidity and pressure influenced sperm count. Forward moving sperms were influenced by temperature and pressure. Summary: The study concludes the change in birth rates seen during different season in a year is due to the quality of semen responsible for conception.

Infertility is a growing concerning health problem affecting around 15% of couples worldwide. Conventional semen parameters have limited accuracy for male infertility potential determination. Current advances in the understanding of male infertility indicate that environmental and occupational exposure to chemical contaminants are important etiological factors leading to infertility problems. In this context, some heavy metals (HMs) can be considered as endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs), thus altering the seminal quality. This systematic review aims to summarize the key points to detect and quantify HMs in human seminal plasma (SP) and the involved analytical tools. Our results showed that that for HM quantification, atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) were the most employed techniques while Zn, Cd, Pb, and Cr were the analytes most often detected. Fast, reliable, and sensitive quantification of EDCs in SP could be important for the development of accurate diagnostic and preventive strategies to address male infertility towards providing personalized therapy.
