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

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).
