Table 4.

Concentrations of selected antibacterial proteins in semen collected from the studied groups.

Excellent Motility (n = 43) High Motility (n = 40) Acceptable Motility (n = 41)
Lysozyme [U/L] 3.76 (3.45; 4.02) 3.02 (2.55; 3.33) *EM 1.97 (1.48; 2.19) ***EM; ***HM
Lactoferrin [mg/100 mL] 11.20 (10.00; 12.80) 12.90 (11.55; 13.93) 13.55 (13.15; 14.53) **EM
PLPA2 [ng/mL] 0.87 (0.76; 0.90) 0.89 (0.79; 0.88) 0.99 (0.82; 1.19)

Values are represented as median (25th; 75th percentile). * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001. EM—versus excellent motility group; HM—versus high motility group. PLPA2—phospholipase A2.
