  • Title: [Dependence between the magnesium and calcium content of the spermatozoa of rams and their motility].
    Author: Kaludin I, Dimitrova I.
    Journal: Vet Med Nauki; 1986; 23(2):29-33. PubMed ID: 3727378.
    Abstract:
    An atomic absorption spectrophotometer AAS1 was used to determine the concentration of magnesium and calcium in seminal cells, plasma, and whole semen of ram ejaculates with a varying percent of motile spermatozoa. Direct proportional correlation was found to exist between the magnesium content in spermatozoa and the percent of spermatozoal motility, and reverse proportional correlation existed between the calcium content and the motility of seminal cells. The plasma of ejaculates with higher cell motility contained more fats as compared with that of ejaculates with lower percent of motile spermatozoa. At the same time the differences in the calcium content were negligible.
