| کلمات کلیدی | P-60 The effect of oral supplementation of vitamin C in human semen quality
Introductions : The main objective of this study was to rule out the effect of oral supplementation of vitamin C on various semen parameters in oligospermic , infertile , otherwise healthy individuals.
Materials and methods : various semen parameters , including sperm motility , sperm count , and sperm morphology were studied before and after the vitamin C treatment. A total of 25 infertile patients were included. Their ages ranged between 22 and 37 years. They had no genital infection or varicocele. Physical examination and other routin laboralory investigation were normal. General semen analysis revealed oligozoospermia(mean sperm count was 12.7±7.2×106 sperms/ml.mean sperm with normal morphology was 43±7.6% and mean sperm motility was 30±9.5%). Testicular biopsy was not done.
Results : These patients received in an open trial of 1000 mg of vitamin C twice daily for a maximum that the mean sperm count was increased to 33.2±9.8×106 sperm/ml(p<0.001) after two mounths of vitamin C intake. The mean sperm motility was increased significantly to 60.1±8.47% (p<0.001) and mean sperms with normal morphology increased significantly to 68.6±5.22% (p<0.001).
Concolusions : this study showed that vitamin C supplementation in infertile men might improve sperm count , sperm motility , and sperm morphology.
Key words : infertile men , semen quality , vitamin C.

P-61 Effect of seminal plasma calcitonin levels on sperm motility
Introduction :In this study the effect of the seminal plasma calcitonin levels on the sperm motility in idiopathic infertile patients was evaluated.
Materials and methods : The number of sperm cells and their motility were studied in the spermograms of 60 idiopatic infertile patients.the levels of seminal plasma calcitonin were studied with double antibody technique. 60 patients were divided into 2 groups according to the motility rates of sperm and 25 healthy men control group.
Results : the difference between the groups was evaluated and the correlation of seminal calcitonin levels with sperm motility were determined . the difference in motility rates between the two groups was statistically significant(p<0.05). sperm motility was correlated with seminal calcitonin levels(r=0.8580).
Conclusion : Motility rates decreased in the patients with low seminal calcitonin levels and seminal calcitonin , sperm motility , seminal plasma.
