Abstract
Objetivos: Evaluar las concentraciones espermáticas de individuos fértiles, población general e individuos infértiles en diferentes regiones del mundo. Métodos: Las concentraciones espermáticas de diferentes estudios según el estado fértil de cada individuo fue evaluada: individuos con fertilidad comprobada, individuos que consultan a una clínica de andrología o centro de infertilidad y población general. Resultado: El promedio de la concentración espermática observada en los estudios para cada grupo fue diferente, siendo menos en los hombres infértiles comparado con los hombres fértiles (p>0.001) y la población general (p>0.001). Conclusiones: Basado en este an...
