title: [Level of zinc and magnesium in semen taken from male partners of married infertile couples].
abstract: There was a preliminary study performed on the differences of zinc and magnesium levels in semen serum from 46 males from the infertile couples. Zinc and magnesium concentration was measured by the use of atomic absorption spectrophotometer. There was no statistically significant differences noticed between the mean concentration of zinc and magnesium in normal and pathological semen serum. Zinc and magnesium levels did not show correlation with the volume of the sperm and with the percentage of pathological forms. Whereas in the cases with the pathological spermiograms there was positive correlation revealed between the concentration of zinc and magnesium and the quantity of spermatozoa in 1 ml along with the negative correlation with the percentage of motile spermatozoa.
