Abstract
The present study was carried out on 50 infertile males whose age range between (19-49) year and 16 male, who were apparently healthy, as a control group whose age range between (18-49) year. The studied males were classified into two groups according to their case health to infertile male and fertile male. The parameters measured were seminal fluid levels lead, cadmium, zinc, copper, chromium, magnesium, iron and cobalt. These parameters were estimated in seminal fluid of patients and control group. The results shown a highly significant different in levels of lead element(7.541a, 0.056b ), cadmium element(0.023a, 0.007b), zinc element(1.275a, 0.054b ), chromium element(0.408a, 0.090b), iron element(2.172a, 0.148b), cobalt element(0.022a, 0.008b), in primary infertile males when compared with in secondary infertile males(a: primary, b:secondry).The results shown a highly significant different in levels of lead element, cadmium element, zinc element, chromium element, iron element, cobalt element, in infertile men when compared with fertile men. The results illustrated highest level of concentrations elements in measurements was lead element levels and cadmium levels in infertile males when compared with control group. As well as lower levels of concentration metals was cobalt element levels in infertile males when compared with control group.
