Abstract
Inhibin levels in the seminal plasma of oligozoospermic and normozoospermic semen and normal human accessory reproductive organs were estimated using specific and sensitive radioimmunoassay. Seminal inhibin content showed a positive correlation (r [correlation coefficient] = 0.827) with the sperm concentration. In the human accessory reproductive organs, prostate showed maximum inhibin content as compared to the seminal vesicle and the epididymis.Keywords
