A study has identified 42 chemical compounds in human seminal plasma samples, revealing statistical associations between some of these compounds and semen quality parameters.
A recent study published in the journal Exposome has identified 42 chemical compounds present in human seminal plasma samples, examining their potential impact on semen quality. The research is part of a comprehensive exposomic analysis that assessed contaminant levels in semen, blood, and urine from 48 healthy men in Spain. Using advanced chemical screening methodology, capable of analyzing over two thousand organic compounds, the researchers found a total of 61 substances detected in at least one of the three biological matrices studied. Notably, 48 of these compounds were identified in at least one seminal plasma sample, while 26 were found in semen, blood, and urine alike.
