[Triglycerides and phospholipids - relation to fertility]

Searching for further characteristics of sperm in the diagnosis of male infertility it was examined if ejaculates with "normo-, oligo-, astheno-, terato-" and "azoospermia" showed typical modifications in their triglyceride- and phospholipid contents. The examination was conveyed in spermatozoa and seminal plasma. In its results the examination of triglycerides showed no connection between concentration and diagnosis. In relation to its phospholipid contents the seminal plasma of "oligo-" and "azoospermia" was richer while it was diminished in the seminal plasma of "terato-" and "asthenozoospermia". The examination of spermatozoa taken from terato- and oligozoosperm ejaculates showed as well diminished concentrations in their phospholipid contents.
