“…Actually, 90% of seminal leukocytes are lost after vasectomy (34). Furthermore, leukocytospermia varies as a function of the duration of abstinence, similar to the observed variations of epididymal secretions (35)(36)(37). This can be explained by the chemotaxis exerted by aging spermatozoa on leukocytes (39).…”

“…These findings raise a number of questions concerning the localization and role of genital PMN and regulation of epididymal carnitine and its effects. Several studies in humans and rodents have demonstrated the existence of an epididymal leukocyte reservoir (34)(35)(36)(37)(38). The evidence in humans is both direct and indirect.…”

“…L'acétyl-L-carnitine est la principale carnitine dans les spermatozoïdes et sa concentration était plus basse dans le sperme des hommes inféconds (Kohengkul et al 1977 ;Soufi r et al 1984). La concentration de carnitine libre dans le plasma séminal a été signifi cativement corrélée à la concentration et à la mobilité des spermatozoïdes (Menchini-Fabris et al 1984), et la mobilité des spermatozoïdes peut être stimulée par l'addition d'acétyl-carnitine in vitro (Tanphaichitr 1977).…”
