Résumé

Il est connu que la motilité et le métabolisme des spermes de mammifères sont sous influence des ions inorganiques, spécialement des ions de potassium. Nous avons étudié le contenu de potassium dans des échantillons de personnes fertiles et infertiles. Nous avons observé que les échantillons dont 30% de spermes étaient motiles, ont la teneur de potassium peu élevée. Les résultats indiquent que le potassium est un des constituants importants du plasma séminal et qu'il a une forte influence sur la motilité des spermes.
