Abstract:
The levels of iron, copper and ferritin were measured in seminal plasma from young healthy students and infertile men with severe teratospermia. No significant differences were found between them. The iron might be available for lipid peroxidation unless it is bound in some way. The role of ferritin in O2- formation is discussed.
