title: Lipid composition of human seminal plasma.
abstract: This study aims at determining the amounts of cholesterol, triglycerides, phospholipids, and nonesterified fatty acids in man's seminal liquid and determining their possible variations linked with the ways of taking and congealing samples. It concludes the determinations of lipids in human seminal liquid are reproducible; the way of taking samples has no real influence; however, it seems best to centrifuge sperm immediately after liquefaction to avoid use of triglycerides and NEFA by the spermatozoa.
