“…It is also possible that accumulation of K + and Ca ++ from accessory glands to the seminal plasma disrupts normal Na + levels, changing the osmotic pressure [19]. Mann and Lutwak-Mann [20] reported the concentrations of K + , Ca ++ , and Mg ++ in seminal plasma to be 132, 6.4, and 13.3 mg/dl, respectively.…”

This study was carried out on nine 3-5-year-old rams of different species: four Norduz, two Karakas, and three Ile de France × Akkaraman rams. Sperm of each ram was collected by means of an artificial vagina once per month from June to October 2007. In each case, the sperm volume, pH, viscosity, mass activity, motility, concentration, abnormal spermatozoa ratio, and the sperm death/live ratio were recorder along with the animals' testis diameter and scrotum circumferences. The concentrations of calcium, potassium, copper, magnesium, iron, and zinc levels in seminal plasma were determined. There were changes in the measured parameters according to genotype and time of sampling, which can be useful for better planning of anestrous mating programs for these ram species.

“…The concentrations of Na + and Ca ++ are much higher in seminal plasma than in spermatozoa, but the opposite is true for K + and Mg ++ . The trace elements Cu, Fe, and Zn also play an important role in the metabolism of spermatozoa [19].…”

“…Bishop & Walton, 1960;Bishop, 1961). The sodium and potassium concentration in testicular and epididymal contents have been investigated in bulls, rams and goats by Salisbury & Cragle (1956), Sorensen & Andersen (1956), Cragle, Salisbury & VanDemark (1958), Cragle, Salisbury & Muntz (1958), White, Wallace, Wales & Scott (1961) and Scott, Wales, Wallace & White (1963). However, these investigations, probably owing to limitations of the available methods, depended on either an analysis of the total contents in the epididymis or on pooled samples of sperm-free epididymal plasma.…”

Sodium and potassium were measured in epididymal plasma at six different levels of the epididymal duct in individual bulls, and the sperm concentration was estimated at the same levels. The sperm concentration was very low in the rete testis and the proximal part of the caput, but increased continuously to a maximum at the proximal end of the corpus. It fluctuated thereafter, being lower in the distal corpus and slightly higher in the cauda. In the rete testis the sodium content of the plasma was high and the potassium content low. The concentration ofsodium decreased in the caput and proximal part of the corpus, where the potassium concentration reached its maximum, thus indicating a selective resorption of sodium with the fluid. In the rest of the corpus the concentration of sodium and potassium remained unchanged but in the cauda the concentration of both decreased markedly.

“…The bulk of the inorganic cations in bull seminal plasma is made up of sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium and mean values have been reported by various investigators (Nesmej anova, 1939;Rothschild & Barnes, 1954; Salisbury & Cragle, 1956;Cragle, Salisbury & VanDemark, 1958;Quinn, White & Wirrick, 1965). The range of means for sodium is from 225 mg/100 ml to 290 mg/100 ml.…”

The oxygen uptake of bovine endometrium was less when perfused with seminal plasma than when perfused with Krebs-Ringer phosphate buffer solution. Dialysing the seminal plasma against Krebs\x=req-\ Ringer phosphate buffer solution did not alter the depressant action of the seminal plasma. The depressant substance was shown to be partially heat labile.Variable mineral concentrations were not responsible for the respiratory depression of the endometrium. It was found, however, that calcium is contributed to the seminal plasma in various amounts and that this contribution is made in conjunction with or associated with the non\x=req-\ dialysable depressant substance. Calcium does not appear to be tightly bound to the non-dialysable material and its removal does not alter the depressant action.It was shown that the degree of respiratory depression is related to the dry weight of non-dialysable seminal plasma.
