Correlations between chemerin concentrations in blood and seminal plasma and sperm quality parameters. Individual qualitative sperm parameters from 36 roosters 40-week-old were measured by Computer Assisted Sperm Analyzer (CASA). Pearson’s correlation analysis is presented below. Asterisks and red text identify correlations that are significantly different.
| Motile Spermatozoa (%) | Progressive Spermatozoa (%) | Static Spermatozoa (%) | Concentration Spermatozoa (×109)/ml | Weight Testis (g) | Chemerin Concentration Blood Plasma (ng/mL) | Chemerin Concentration Seminal Plasma (ng/mL) | |
