title: Application of biochemical markers for identification of biological properties of animal semen.
abstract: The use of biochemical markers for identification of biological properties of semen will help to develop new criteria that are accurate and objective in predicting and improving male fertility. Understanding and controlling the mechanisms involved in fertility is a key challenge, which is of fundamental importance in successful animal reproductive performance. Moreover, unraveling the unique molecular mechanism associated with sperm function might have considerable diagnostic value in the evaluation of male infertility. This review offered insights into some recent achievements and provided perspectives for possible applications of the biochemical markers of semen.
