Pearson correlation between uPA concentration in seminal plasma or spermatozoa and the seminal parameters
| Total uPA seminal plasma (ng/mL) | Active uPA seminal plasma (ng/mL) | Total uPA spermatozoa (ng/106 cells) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Volume (mL) | 0.06 (64) | 0.18* (148) | − 0.04 (68) |
| Concentration (106/mL) | 0.16 (64) | 0.10 (148) | − 0.48** (68) |
| Total sperm in ejaculate (106) | 0.19 (64) | 0.19* (148) | − 0.39** (68) |
| Motility (%) | 0.08 (64) | 0.22* (148) | − 0.35** (68) |
| Progressive Motility (%) | 0.16 (64) | 0.10 (148) | − 0.31* (68) |
| Normal morphology (%) | − 0.01 (51) | 0.16 (126) | − 0.27* (59) |
*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01
