Catalase-like and superoxide dismutase-like activities in human seminal plasma
Abstract
Abstract. Human spermatozoa are highly susceptible to oxidative injury but are naturally protected from such injury by the antioxidant properties of seminal plasma. We measured catalase-like and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activities in the seminal plasma of fertile and vasectomized men in order to gain insight into the potential source(s) and function(s) of these antioxidants in semen. Semen samples were obtained from fertile men (n=11) …
