Semen Zinc

The total amount of zinc in the body is about 1.5g. It is mainly concentrated in the testis, epididymis and prostate. The content in the seminal plasma is particularly rich, and the concentration of seminal plasma is more than 100 times higher than that in plasma. It can promote the development of reproductive organs, maintain normal spermatogenic function, and improve sperm concentration and vitality. Basic Information Specialist classification: male examination check classification: semen and prostatic fluid examination Applicable gender: whether the male is fasting: not fasting Tips: Specimens should be kept away for too long and measured in time. Normal value One shot, >2.4μmol. Clinical significance 1. Influencing the development of the gonads, mainly affecting the gonads indirectly by affecting the pituitary gland. Zinc deficiency can significantly inhibit the release of pituitary gonadotropin, causing gonadal dysplasia or impairing the reproductive and endocrine functions of the gonads. 2. Zinc is directly involved in sperm production, maturation, activation and capacitation, and plays an important role in sperm activity, metabolism and its stability. The reduction of seminal plasma zinc can lead to decreased sperm production and death syndrome. Severe zinc deficiency can cause infertility. 3. Zinc is involved in the composition of lactate dehydrogenase, alcohol dehydrogenase and carboxypeptidase A. It is a cofactor for many enzymes. Therefore, zinc deficiency can affect the activity of enzymes, which in turn affects reproductive and endocrine functions. 4. The zinc content is related to the bactericidal ability and antibacterial mechanism of the prostatic fluid, and the prostate can synthesize a zinc-containing polypeptide having an antibacterial effect. Low results may be diseases: precautions for male infertility 1. Keeping the sample's inhalation rate and flame state constant is an important part of achieving repeated results. In order to keep the atomizer clean, it should be washed regularly with dilute hydrochloric acid. The burner should be immersed in a non-acidic cleaning solution and thoroughly cleaned before use to keep the burner vents smooth and smooth. 2. Strictly prevent zinc pollution during the whole process of operation. Because rubber products contain higher zinc, the specimens should not be in contact with rubber products. 3, specimens, deionized water, reagents should be in the container of polyethylene products, glass containers are not available. 4. Specimens should be avoided for too long and measured in time. Inspection process Atomic absorption spectrometry is used. Not suitable for the crowd no. Adverse reactions and risks no.
