semen carnitine

Carnitine in seminal plasma is mainly secreted by the epididymis, followed by the seminal vesicle. The liver is the main site for the synthesis of carnitine. The carnitine in the seminal plasma is divided into two types: free carnitine and acetylcarnitine. The content of carnitine in seminal plasma is almost 10 times higher than that of plasma carnitine, which may be related to The source of energy required for sperm to mature in the epididymis. When the epididymis and seminal vesicle function are impaired, semen carnitine will drop dramatically. Therefore, the detection of carnitine in seminal plasma can be used as one of the indicators to understand the function of epididymis and seminal vesicles. Basic Information Specialist classification: male examination check classification: semen and prostatic fluid examination Applicable gender: whether the male is fasting: not fasting Analysis results: Below normal: When the content of carnitine in semen is higher than 50% of normal, and the content of fructose is decreased, it suggests that epididymis function is normal and seminal vesicle dysfunction; when semen carnitine content accounts for about 50% of normal and fructose content is normal, suggesting epididymal dysfunction, seminal vesicle Normal function or obstruction of the vas deferens; when the semen carnitine drops sharply, the fructose content decreases, indicating that the epididymis and seminal vesicle function are impaired. Normal value: Semen carnitine: 133.97-345.15μmol/L Above normal: Rare. negative: Positive: Tips: Before collecting semen: you must stop sex for 2 to 7 days, and you must not have masturbation, dreams, etc., you should also ban smoking and alcohol, and avoid drugs that have an effect on spermatogenic function. Normal value (239.56 ± 105.59) μmol / L. Clinical significance Abnormal result The content of carnitine and fructose is normal, indicating that the epididymis and seminal vesicle function normally; when the content of carnitine in semen is higher than normal 50%, and the content of fructose is decreased, suggesting that epididymis function is normal, seminal vesicle dysfunction; when semen carnitine content is normal About 50% of the fructose content is normal, suggesting epididymal dysfunction, normal seminal vesicle function or vas deferens obstruction; when semen carnitine drops sharply, fructose content decreases, showing that the epididymis and seminal vesicle function are impaired. People who need to be tested Blood sperm, frequent urination, urgency, lower abdominal pain and other symptoms. Low results may be diseases: seminal vesiculitis, epididymitis, seminal vesicle cysts Before collecting semen: you must stop sex for 2 to 7 days, and you must not have masturbation, dreams, etc., you should also ban smoking and alcohol, and avoid drugs that have an effect on spermatogenic function. At the time of collection: the time of harvesting is better in the morning, and the hands and genitals, especially the glans, are washed with warm water before collecting. The ejaculation can be caused by masturbation or electric massage ejaculation. After collection: send to the inspection location in an hour or so. Not suitable for the crowd: no. Inspection process The subject's blood was collected and subjected to a chemical precipitation test. Not suitable for the crowd no. Adverse reactions and risks no.
