title: On some glycosidases (beta-D-mannosidase, alpha-L-fucosidase, N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase) of human seminal plasma.
abstract: The glycosidase activities (beta-D-mannosidase, alpha-L-fucosidase and N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase) have been compared in whole and split ejaculate samples from men whose couple suffers from infertility. The site of secretion of enzymatic activities is either prostatic or epididymal. The three enzymatic activities have possibly different origin and should constitute new biochemical markers of male genital tract.
