Seminal plasma transferrin levels as well as serum FSH and LH levels were measured in fertile (normozoospermic) and infertile (oligozoospermic and azoospermic) men in an effort to find out whether transferrin levels correlated with sperm density and serum FSH and LH levels. Seminal plasma transferrin levels were found to be significantly lower (p < 0.0005) in the infertile group than the fertile group. Seminal plasma transferrin levels can be regarded as a functional parameter of Sertoli cell function in men.
对有生育能力（精子正常）和不育（少精子症和无精子症）的男性进行了精液血浆转铁蛋白水平以及血清促卵泡激素（FSH）和促黄体生成素（LH）水平的测量，以确定转铁蛋白水平是否与精子密度以及血清FSH和LH水平相关。结果发现，不育组的精液血浆转铁蛋白水平显著低于有生育能力组（p < 0.0005）。精液血浆转铁蛋白水平可被视为男性睾丸支持细胞功能的一个功能参数。
