Abstract
SUMMARY: In this study changes in plasma oxytocin levels were determined before and after ejaculation in patients with abnormal spermatogenesis. Plasma oxytocin levels rose significantly after ejaculation (Pn= 17) There was no obvious correlation between plasma oxytocin levels and sperm count, sperm motility or the number of abnormal forms. Oxytocin may play a role in the precipitation of ejaculation in males.Keywords
