Abstract
The method of determination of angiotensin-converting enzyme activity in human spermatozoa and sperm plasma was developed. The amount of total and active-mobile spermatozoa was shown to be less in Chernobyl victims than in healthy donors. Moreover, the specific activity of angiotensin-converting enzyme in Chernobyl victims spermatozoa calculated per 10(6) cells was 12-fold greater than in spermatozoa of the donors. Similar phenomenon, although to a les extent, was observed in patients with chronic prostatitis. The enzyme activity in blood serum and sperm plasma was also demonstrated to be similar for all groups investigated and equal to that in healthy donors.
