[Concentration of fibronectin and its possible role in unexplained infertility in relationship to testosterone, FSH and LH levels].
The group of 100 men, divided into two groups according to WHO criteria concerning the spermatozoa content was evaluated. The group of 44 oligospermic and azoospermic men was compared with the control group consisting of 56 normospermic men by means of Mann-Whitney U. The statistically significant differences were established in two studied groups in such selected semen parameters like percent of pathological forms and motility of spermatozoa and volume of semen. The concentrations of fibronectin in semen plasma were different in studied groups however the difference did not reach the statistically significant level. No statistically significant Sperman's correlations were observed between the fibronectin and testosterone, FSH and LH levels in blood plasma specimens.
