Study on Male Infertility And Physiological Role of Zinc: A Hospital Based Study

Dr Shubhranshu Shekhar, Dr Priyanka Singh

Abstract :

There has been increasing interest in the evaluation of essential trace elements present in different concentrations in the human body fluids and their correlation to the human health. Trace elements play important roles in a number of body functions. Our aim was the relationship between concentration of zinc in seminal plasma and semen quality. The results revealed that serum zinc levels in infertile men group were lower than in the fertile men group. the zinc has positive effect on sperm count and morphology. The fact that zinc plays a positive role in influencing the process of spermatogenesis cannot be ruled out. Varicocele decreases the concentration of zinc and decreases the availability of oxygen for live sperm
