title: [Zinc levels in semen of men from childless marriages].
abstract: Zinc concentration in human semen was studied on the material of 106 male patients aged 20-35, from childless marriages. Full microscopic examination was performed including number of spermatozoons, mobility, fluxing time, pH, morphological composition, number of leucocytes. Zinc level was measured using spectrophotometric analysis. Trial of relation estimation between zinc concentration and number of live spermatozoons and pH of the semen was taken out. Any significant differences between zinc concentration in the semen from normospermic and oligospermic males were found. There was proved, that semen pH increase was correlated to zinc concentration decrement in the semen fluid.
