Determination of Free Amino-Acids in Human Ejaculate by Ion Exchange Chromatography

Abstract

REPORTS on investigations concerning the content of free amino-acids in human ejaculates are rare. Sakar, Luecke and Duncan1 estimated the amino-acid composition by microbiological methods. Adam and Korting2, Jacobsson3 and Lundquist4 separated amino-acids from human sperm liquor qualitatively by paper chromatography. Keutel and Gabsch used paper chromatography for qualitative and quantitative determinations of amino-acids from ejaculates5.
