Abstract
Survival of any population is depends on fertility in the past, present or in the future. While,fertility partially depends on normal healthy semen. The study was conducted on 63 men at the age25 to 35 years, 43 infertile patients& 20 control subjects. The study was carried out in Baghdadfrom sep 1999 to July 2000. Complete medical history was recorded for patients & control subjects.The sample of semen was collected directly into sterile clean dry glass container by masturbation inthe hospital after 3 days of sexual abstinence.Analysis of semen parameters was carried out in accord with standard procedures. Zinc contentof seminal fluid of control men is higher than sub-fertile men (group1) and infertile men (group11).Magnesium content of seminal fluid of control men is higher than sub-fertile men (group1) andinfertile men (group11). Also, iron content in seminal fluid of infertile men is lower than controls.Moreover, The seminal fluid values for Cu and Mn did not vary significantly between healthycontrol men & patients of both groups even though their values in control group is higher thanpatients. In addition to there are no significant differences in regard to potassium contents ofseminal fluid between control group & patients. While calcium content of patient’s seminal fluid ishigher than controls
