Total proteins and electrophoretic patterns in seminal plasma of normospermic, azoospermic and oligospermic men.
The mean values for total-protein, pre-albumin, albumin and gamma-globulin levels of azoospermic men were significantly lower than those of controls. In the oligospermic group the total protein, and gamma-globulin levels were higher than those on the azoospermic group and lower than those of controls. Pre-albumin and albumin levels were significantly higher than in the azoospermic group and showed nonsignificant differences from controls. A/G ratio was significantly increased in the oligospermic group compared to controls and in the group of azoospermic men.
