Abstract:
Seminal ejaculates obtained from four men were added to amniotic fluid pools. Lecithin/sphingomyelin ratios in amniotic fluid were significantly lowered in the presence of small amounts of contaminating semen. In contrast, the determination of disaturated phosphatidylcholine was not affected by the presence of this contaminant.
