Application Comment Organism
medicine level of seminal plasma lipocalin-type prostaglandin-D synthase is significantly lower in groups with obstruction of the male seminal tract. Men with nonobstructive azoospermia have less homogenity of lipocalin-type prostaglandin-D synthase levels. Lipocalin-type prostaglandin-D synthase can be a potential biomarker for assessing patency in the seminal tract in men with azoospermia. In men with azoospermia and high seminal lipocalin-type prostaglandin-D synthase levels, the diagnosis of nonobstructive azoospermia can be potentially made without biopsy Homo sapiens
