Abstract

This study was performed on human semen specimens obtained from Asthenospermic patients (35  specimens) Normospermic males (40  specimens) , and (20 specimens ) Fertile Control group, who were attending to the laboratories of Fertility center in ALSader medical city of AL-Najaf  AL-Ashraf city during the period extended from 1-9-2013  to 30-1 - 2014 .

      The aim of present study was  to estimate the levels of some Trace element (Lead, Copper, Cobalt, Chromium, , and Cademium)  concentrations in Asthenospermia and Normospermia. by atomic absorption method , and compersion with control  (Fertile) .Estimate concentration of (MDA)  Malondialdehyde  ,Total protein concentration in semen specimens .Also relationships  between  mentioned  components and some semen parameters  .

     The results revealed significant increase (P <0.05) in the concentration of examined trace elements in Asthenospermia and Normozoospermia when compersion with control , and the study was appeared significant increase (P <0.05) in total protein concentration , also in MDA concentration  in semen specimens.

      It was concluded that found increase in concentration of trace elements and it influence on blance and parameter of seminal fluid , also the Correlation between trace element and Protein in semen . All of this lead to arise of cases of Asthenospermia and Normospermia  infertile patients .
