    Summary

    This study found significant correlations between lactate dehydrogenase C4 (LDH-C4) and reproductive hormones in seminal fluid, offering insights into male infertility markers. These findings may aid in diagnosing and understanding the causes of infertility in men.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Endocrinology
    • Clinical Biochemistry
    • Andrology

    Context:

    • Male infertility affects a significant portion of couples seeking fertility treatments.
    • Biomarkers in seminal fluid are crucial for diagnosing male reproductive health issues.
    • Hormonal imbalances play a key role in male fertility.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the correlation between seminal fluid lactate dehydrogenase C4 (LDH-C4) and specific reproductive hormones (beta-hCG, LH, FSH) in men presenting with infertility.
    • To determine the clinical utility of LDH-C4 as a potential biomarker in male conjugal infertility.

    Summary:

    • 47 male patients with infertility underwent analysis of seminal fluid for LDH-C4, beta-hCG, and LH, alongside serum FSH.
    • A significant positive correlation was observed between seminal LDH-C4 and beta-hCG/LH levels.
    • A significant negative correlation was found between seminal LDH-C4 and serum FSH, though less pronounced.

    Impact:

    • Establishes a link between LDH-C4 and key reproductive hormones, potentially improving diagnostic approaches for male infertility.
    • Suggests LDH-C4 could serve as a valuable indicator in assessing male reproductive function.
    • Highlights the complex interplay of biochemical and hormonal factors in male infertility.
