title: Levels of inhibin in human semen and accessory reproductive organs.
abstract: Levels of inhibin in the seminal plasma of oligozoospermic and normozoospermic semen and normal human accessory reproductive organs were estimated using specific and sensitive radioimmunoassay (RIA). Seminal inhibin content showed a positive correlation (r = 0.827) with the sperm concentration. Further, in the human accessory reproductive organs, prostate showed maximum content of inhibin as compared to the seminal vesicle and the epididymis.
