Seminal biomarkers and their correlations to semen parameters in subfertile men

CONCLUSIONS: Higher zinc and citrate levels correlated with better progressive motility, sperm morphology and TMSC. Smoking negatively impacted zinc and citrate levels, thereby affecting sperm quality. In conclusion, the inclusion of biomarkers in basic male work-up assessment would assist in identifying common deficiencies and aid in adequate replacement therapy.PMID:37700886 | PMC:PMC10493244 | DOI:10.1016/j.eurox.2023.100229
