title: Calcium and magnesium in male reproductive system  and in its secretion. I. Level in normal human semen,  seminal plasma and spermatozoa.
abstract: A study was conducted to establish the level of calcium and magnesium in human semen, seminal plasma and spermatozoa. One hundred and sixteen healthy, fertile young men submitted sample for this study. Total sperm count and active motility showed a positive correlation. Both elements were found more outside spermatozoa. They maintained a positive correlation. Spermatozoa count did not show correlation with any of these two elements. There was a negative correlation in calcium inside and outside spermatozoa.
