Semen analysis

Reference range:   Absent, Present

Agglutination morphology in a semen analysis refers to the clumping or sticking together of sperm cells, which can affect their ability to swim freely and reach the egg for fertilization. This is an important biomarker in male fertility assessments because agglutination can reduce the chances of conception.

What Causes Sperm Agglutination?

  • Immune Response: The most common cause is the presence of anti-sperm antibodies, which cause the sperm cells to stick together.
  • Infections: Infections in the male reproductive tract can lead to the production of substances that make sperm agglutinate.
  • Seminal Plasma Issues: Imbalances in the proteins and enzymes in seminal fluid may also cause abnormal clumping.

Fatty Acids Profile, Essential (Serum/Plasma)

Optimal range:   30 - 100 qg/mL

Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is an essential n-3 fatty acid and must be obtained in the diet. Sources include green leafy vegetables, oily fish, flaxseed, soybean oil, canola oil, walnuts, and chia seeds. ALA has an 18-carbon backbone with 3 double bonds starting at the third carbon molecule (18:3n3). It is an important precursor to make eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), though these can also be obtained in the diet. Most dietary ALA is used to generate energy and only a small portion is converted to EPA and DHA.

3102 ION (Blood/Urine) Amino Acids 40, Genova Diagnostics

Optimal range:   19 - 62 qmol/dL

Alanine is a nonessential amino acid. It is the second most abundant amino acid in circulation, after glutamine. It is found in many foods including eggs, meat, lentils, and fish. Alanine is involved in sugar metabolism for energy and is important in immune system function, specifically T lymphocyte activation. Interestingly, alanine is an agonist that binds to the glycine site of N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors in the brain and improves the positive and cognitive symptoms of patients with schizophrenia.
