title: Seminal concentssrations of total and ionized calcium from men with normal and decreased motility.
abstract: In this study, sperm motility, velocity, and progression were compared with the total and Ca++ concentrations in the SF from men with normal and decreased motility (less than 60%). No significant difference in SF total calcium content was observed in men with normal and hypomotility. However, a statistically significant decrease in seminal Ca++ was observed in those men with decreased motility, when compared with that of men with normal motility.
