Abstract
The aim of the present study is to investigate the role of chemical changes of the seminal fluid in the
fertility of oligospermic men. We evaluated the role of spermatozoal creatine kinase enzyme and seminal
plasma alkaline phosphatase, Acid phosphatase, total protein, albumin, uric acid, calcium, chloride, inorganic
phosphate, createnine and fructose in oligospermic patients and their relation to sperm count and
activity in 62 individuals ( 42 infertile oligospermic, and 20 normal fertile volunteers) , and we
subdivided the oligospermia to three subgroups (Mild ,Moderate, Severe Oligospermia).
Results: Creatine kinase:-there was a significant increase in the spermatozoal CK in the oligospermic group
as compared to normal group there was a significant increase in CK levels with decreasing motility.
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP): there was a significant decrease in ALP activity in the oligospermia as
compared to normal group, but no change observed related to motility.
Fructose: there was a significant increase in the level of seminal plasma fructose in oligospermic group as
compared with normospermic. Within the oligosoermic group and there was a negative correlation between
fructose concentration and motility.
There was no significant change observed in Acid phosphatase, Total protein, albumin Uric acid, Calcium,
Chloride, Inorganic phosphate and Createnine.
