The specific activity was 874.3±84.0 mIU/g protein. There was a significantly positive correlation between the activity (mIU/ml) and the number of spermatozoa. The activity for infertile group was lower than that of the fertile group. For the azoospermia group, the activity was 28.7±3.4 mIU/ml and 47.8±4.9 mIU/total (n=29). There was a significant difference as compared with that of fertile group. The enzyme activity of varicocele group was 35.6±5.1 mIU/ml and 120.3±13.6 mIU/total (n=18). It was higher than that of the azoospermia group (P【0.001). There was no significant difference between the varicocele group and the fertile group. The possible role of the enzyme in seminal plasma and the significance of measurement of the activity in clinical investigation are discussed briefly.展开更多
