infetility

Serum prolactin (PRL) levels were determined by radioimmunoassay in 12 normal, menstruating women and in 26 infetile women with ovarian dysfunction for one cycle or for about 30 days in amenorrheic women. Galactorrhea was not observed. No significant change in serum PRL levels was observed throughout the normal, menstrual cycle. Of the 26 patients with ovarian dysfunction, seven showed PRL levels higher than normal. Twelve of the 26 patients were treated with clomiphene citrate (Clomid), 100 mg, daily for 5 days...

A spermatozoa defect with an obligate heat-flagellum-crack which implies infetility is reported. Hereby the connection of the flagellum with the nucleus is loosened. The axis of the flagellum is displaced from the axis of the nucleus up to 160 degrees. The motility of these spermatozoa is not perceptibly disturbed.
