摘 要:Serum amyloid P component(SAP)is present in seminal plasma,on spermatozoa,and in different tissues of the male reproductive tract,but its function is not *** aims of this study were to determine if the concentration of SAP in seminal plasma is associated with commonly assessed semen parameters and to investigate if SAP could be a new,indirect biomarker for these *** a cross-sectional study of 203 young volunteers,the concentration of SAP in seminal plasma was measured with a in-house developed enzyme-linked immunosorbent *** plots,Pearson’s correlation coefficients(r),and linear regression models were produced,and SAP showed a statistically significant correlation with sperm concentration(r=0.75),sperm number(r=0.68),semen volume(r=-0.19),progressive sperm motility(r=0.24),and sperm immotility(r=-0.20).When the study group was dichotomized,SAP could be used to discriminate samples with a sperm concentrationor≥5×10^(6)ml^(-1),15×10^(6)ml^(-1),or 40×10^(6)ml^(-1),and in receiver operating characteristic curves,the corresponding areas under the curves were 0.97,0.93,and 0.82,respectively,with P0.001 for all three cutoff values *** concentration of SAP in seminal plasma showed a strong,positive correlation with the concentration of spermatozoa in *** may be used as a new indirect potential biomarker for sperm concentration in fresh and in frozen,stored *** addition,it is envisaged that the assay could be developed into a home fertility test to differentiate between a low and a normal sperm concentration.
