ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1016/S1383-5718(02)00274-7 | Abstract: | To explore the associations among semen quality, oxidative DNA damage in human spermatozoa and concentrations of cadmium, lead and selenium in seminal plasma, 56 non-smoking subjects were asked to collect semen by masturbation into a sterile wide-mouth metal-free plastic container after 3 days of abstinence. The conventional semen parameters were analysed. The concentrations of Cd, Pb and Se in seminal plasma were detected using atomic absorption spectrophotometer. 8-OHdG levels in sperm DNA were measured using HPLC-EC. The results showed that the geometric mean concentrations of Cd, Pb and Se were 0.78, 7.8 and 51.4μg/l, respectively. The geometric mean of 8-OHdG/106 dG was 51.4 (95% CI: 21.5-123.0). A significant inverse correlation exists between Cd and sperm density (r=-0.28, P | Source Title: | Mutation Research - Genetic Toxicology and Environmental Mutagenesis | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/113672 | ISSN: | 13835718 | DOI: | 10.1016/S1383-5718(02)00274-7 |
