Abstract
Testosterone (T) and 5.alpha.-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) were measured in seminal plasma of 16 azoospermic patients with tubular damage (germinal cell arrest or Sertoli cell only syndrome) and 5 patients affected by azoospermia of obstructive origin. In both groups T values were not significantly different from controls, while DHT was significantly lower in patients affected by azoospermia of obstructive origin.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
