Free Radical-Induced Liquefaction of Ejaculated Human Semen: A New Dimension in Semen Biochemistry

Pages 107-111 | Published online: 09 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

Even though the aminopeptidase and amylase are the major liquefying factors in the liquefaction process of the ejaculated semen-coagulum, the exact nature of “switching on” phenomena has not been elucidated yet. Monitoring the rate of production of the asborbyl radical, an indirect method for oxyradical-stress measurement, this prima facie study reports the involvement of oxygen radical in the liquefaction process of coagulated semen.
