Differences in caspase-8 and -9 activity and sperm motility in XXXX males of @entity8357 nationality in China.

@entity1 @entity249 @entity522 @entity8357 @entity8186 @entity8187 @entity15418 @entity3893
This study's objectives are to assess the efficacy of detecting apoptotic @entity15418 in @entity1 sperm and plasma using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), and to compare these levels between fertile and @entity249 @entity1 groups of @entity8357 nationality in China. This study offers a non-invasive, alternative strategy to analyzing sperm parameters in @entity249 males. Fifty-six @entity249 males were investigated; asthenospermia (n = 19), oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (n = 20), @entity3893 (n = 17) compared with 20 healthy fertile controls. They were subjected to semen analysis by computer-assisted sperm assay (CASA). We found that @entity522 existed in all specimens in both sperms and plasma. The level of @entity522 and @entity8186 in plasma were both significantly higher than in sperm. Levels of @entity8186 and @entity8187 in sperm and plasma were significantly negatively correlated with sperm concentration, motility and A % (motility grade A). The level of @entity8186 in plasma was significantly negatively correlated with sperm concentration. However, only in healthy fertile controls sperm concentration was significantly negatively correlated with @entity8187 in sperm. Compared with the healthy fertile controls, only the OAT group exhibited significantly increased level of @entity8186 in sperm (P < 0.05). It is concluded that @entity8186 and @entity8187 in sperm and plasma are correlated with sperm motility, and can reflect the quality of sperm in vitro.
