Abstract Purpose To investigate whether seminal plasma (SP)/serum ratios of multiple trace elements (TEs) can classify patients with male subfertility. Methods SP/serum 20 TEs (lithium, sodium, magnesium, phosphorus, sulfur, potassium, calcium, manganese, iron, cobalt, copper, zinc, arsenic, selenium, rubidium, strontium, molybdenum, cesium, barium, and thallium) were calculated for healthy volunteers ( n = 4) those consulting subfertility 245). Volunteer semen samples collected by split...
ABSTRACT Background Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP‐MS) is widely used for the accurate measurement of minerals. However, its application to serum essential mineral has not been fully evaluated. The present study aimed assess performance ICP‐MS minerals by comparing measurements those obtained using standard quantification methods. Methods Cross‐sectional data were collected from 282 participants a single facility in Japan. Serum concentrations eight key minerals, namely...
