title: A rapid, routinely applicable method for the determination of the amino acid content of the ejaculate.
abstract: Examination of the amino acid content of the ejaculate was carried out from the point of view of fertility. Following a brief survey of the known examination techniques, the authors report on the experiences gained by the Van Pielsum-Sakagutchi and a thin-layer ion exchange chromatographic methods. The chromatographic videodensitometry is proposed as a suitable routine andrologic examination since it is rapid, simple and requires small sample size.
