Correlation of sodium and potassium in human seminal plasma with fertilizing capacity of normal, and infertile subjects.
An optimum level for sodium and potassium in seminal plasma for normal sperm motility is observed. A change in the level of any of the two electrolytes leads to disturbance in the motility of sperm and thus into the viability of it.
