The value of Pearson's correlation coefficients calculated between the antioxidant parameters and sperm criteria

Elements	Motility	Sperm count	Atypical forms
Zinc	0.29*	0.49**	NS
Selenium	0.36**	NS	NS
GSHt	0.13*	NS	NS
GSSG	0.22**	NS	-0.39*
GSHr	0.42**	0.11*	NS
MDA	-0.24*	-0.35*	0.19*

Note: GSHt = Total glutathione, GSSG = Oxidized glutathione, MDA = Malondialdehyde acid, NS = Not significant. * Significant correlation P < 0.05, ** Correlation strongly significant P ≤ 0.001.
