Mp60-05 melatonin hormone level in serum and seminal plasma of patients with idiopathic oligoasthenoteratozoospermia
Melatonin is a sleep inducing hormone and a hormone of darkness, secreted by the pineal gland. It has a role in idiopathic oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (iOAT) male infertility by its potent antioxidant effect. We aim to estimate seminal plasma and serum melatonin levels in iOAT patients compared with normal fertile male patients and the effect of exposure to light at night on their semen parameters.
