摘要
Fibronectin like antigen (Fn) and transferrin (Trs) levels were measured in the seminal plasma of 40 fertile and 102 infertile men. The concentrations of both proteins were significantly (P < 0.001) higher in the fertile controls compared to the infertile groups. The levels of Fn and Trs (mean value +/- SEM) in the fertile men were 857.9 +/- 9.8 mu g ml(-1) and 164.0 +/- 6.5 mu g ml(-1), respectively; in the azoospermic men (n=17) 552.7 +/- 24.65 mu g ml(-1) and 20.7 +/- 2.19 mu g ml(-1), respectively; in the group of severe oligozoospermia (n=35) 568.34 +/- 25.7 mu g ml(-1) and 31.1 +/- 4.18 mu g ml(-1), respectively; in the moderate oligozoospermic group (n=8) 572.50 +/- 47.9 mu g ml(-1) and 43.4 +/- 15.4 mu g ml(-1) respectively, and in the asthenozoospermic group (n=26) 512.76 +/- 40.4 mu g ml(-1) and 47.0 +/- 7.9 mu g ml(-1), respectively. Of special interest was the finding from a group of 16 normospermic men (partners of couples with unexplained infertility) who showed significantly lower levels of Fn like antigen, 632.5 +/- 26.9 mu g ml(-1) (P < 0.001) and Trs 41.8 +/- 6.94 mu g ml(-1) (P < 0.0001) compared to normals. No correlation was found between Fn levels with either Trs or FSH levels or sperm count. In conclusion, our results indicate that male infertility is associated with changes in seminal plasma Fn like antigen concentrations and that it can be possibly used as an index of sperm fertilizing capacity.
