Abstract:
Objective To study the impacts of leukocytes elevation on the sperm quality and oxidative stress .Methods A total of 52 elevated leukocytes specimen and 50 normal leukocytes specimen were collected .Standard semen analysis was performed .Re-active oxygen species (ROS) production was measured using luminol as the probe by the Chemiluminescence method .Malonalde-hyde(MDA) content in semen was measured by the sulfo-barbitone acid method .Total superoxide dismutase(T-SOD) in semen was measured by the xanthine oxidase method .Results The semen parameters including total motility (P= 0 .008) ,progressive motility (P= 0 .005) and normal forms (P= 0 .003) ,the sperm motion parameters including mean curvilinear velocity (VCL)(P= 0 .023) , mean straight-line velocity (VSL)(P= 0 .010) ,mean average path (VAP)(P= 0 .011) ,swing(WOB)(P< 0 .001)in the elevated leu-kocytes group all decreased significantly compared with the normal leukocytes group .The ratio of sperm abnormality in the abnor-mal leukocytes group increased significantly (P= 0 .008) .ROS levels (using the log-transformation) and Malondialdehyde (MDA ) were significantly higher in the elevated leukocytes group ,but no significant difference was observed for T-SOD between the two groups(P> 0 .05) .Conclusion The leukocytes elevation could result in the decrease of spermatozoa quality ,which might be related with ROS increase .
