X-Ray Diffraction Study on Human Male Reproductive Tract and Semen

Abstract

In the present study authors had separated testis, epididymis-caput, corpus, cauda, vas deferens, seminal vesicle, prostate gland and bulbourethral gland from human male reproductive tract, made it to ash form. Semen also underwent same procedure. All samples had undergone X-ray diffraction analysis. Results Results showed there where two distinct rings for each sample. We named it is “A” &” B”. Under “A” Barium silicate, Barium silicate hydrate and three metal complexes of copper, gold and zinc were seen. Under “B” Calcium silicate and calcium silicate hydrate were observed. Both “A” and “B” were seen throughout the length (expect for “A” is seminal vesicle) and in semen. Conclusions A tri metal complex of copper, gold and zinc is reported in this study, is first of its kind in Biology.

Electron Microscopic (Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis) Study of Human Male Reproductive Organs and Semen

“…This is the first of its kind to report presence of gold inside sperm cell. The result of the present study supported earlier reports of gold in human semen and in male genital system [3][4][5][6]. Gold was seen in epididymis caput (Fig.…”

“…The gold in sperm cells might have entered during spermatogenesis. X-ray diffraction analysis showed gold as present in testes [5]. In an unpublished histological study, we observed gold particles in the rim of seminiferous tubule of frog (Sumangala, Skandhan).…”

“…Histologically, gold was demonstrated in genital tract of rat [15]. X-ray diffraction analysis performed on semen, and male reproductive tract had shown a trimetal complex of gold, zinc, and copper as present in the tract as well as in semen [5]. Its significances were not known.…”

“…It was discussed at different forums. Its presence and level in human semen by employing different technological devices like mass emission spectroscopy [4], neutron activation analysis [3], x-ray diffraction analysis [5], and atomic absorption spectrophotometer [6] were studied. The aim of the present study was to analyze human semen by employing energy dispersive x-ray analysis (EDAX) facilities on electron microscope to confirm earlier reports or to search new elements.…”

Gold in Human Semen Around and Away From a Gold Deposit Area

“…Histologically, gold was seen in the rim of seminiferous tubules of frog (personal communication, Sumangala, Skandhan). X-ray diffraction study has shown gold in trimetal form in male system throughout the length of it [50]. Possibly yellow metal is released to semen from throughout the length of germinal system.…”
