“…Composition of seminal plasma was important for functioning of sperm. 4 Number of organic 5,6 and inorganic 5,[7][8][9][10] substances were reported in it. Among all two electrolytes, calcium and magnesium secured attention of different groups of workers.…”

“…14,15,17 Source of gold is identified as caput epididymis. 11 Studies employing Electron Microscope (Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis) and X-ray Diffraction Analysis, revealed presence of gold throughout the length of genital system (except at the level of seminal vesicle, by X-ray diffraction study). 14,17 A prominent observation is gold existed in a trimetal complex form with zinc and copper.…”

“…14,17 A prominent observation is gold existed in a trimetal complex form with zinc and copper. 14 It is present in normal seminal plasma and spermatozoa, 3,16 which is less or nil in few samples where sperm motility was below normal, 8,11,16 probably indicating the necessity of gold for motility, though no statistical difference is seen between normal and clinical conditions. 16 The present study is carried out to establish the level of gold in seminal plasma and spermatozoa in normal and clinical conditions.…”

“…[6] Initially, by employing mass emission spectroscope, we had shown that gold reached semen from caput epididymis. [7] The gold remained in a trimetal complex with copper and zinc. [6] Direct couple plasma emission spectroscope failed to show gold in semen.…”
