Table 3. Nonparametric (Spearman) correlation coefficients for the relationship between lipids levels in serum and seminal plasma for 631 subfertile men.
Variable | TG in SP | TC in SP | LDL in SP | HDL in SP |
---|---|---|---|---|
Serum TG | 0.081a | -0.021 | 0.033 | -0.054 |
Serum TC | 0.060 | -0.038 | 0.019 | -0.045 |
Serum LDL | 0.088a | -0.027 | 0.020 | 0.018 |
Serum HDL | -0.031 | -0.002 | -0.060 | 0.006 |
SP, seminal plasma.
a, P ≤ 0.05
TG level in SP was related to serum TG and LDL levels (P = 0.042 and 0.026).
