In a study involving 176 males attending an infertility clinic and 88 controls awaiting elective vasectomy, the semen acid phosphatase activity was found to be significantly higher in the former group (p less than 0.001). However, no definite relationship of semen acid phosphatase level to ejaculate volume, sperm motility, viability, morphology, seminal zinc, magnesium or fructose was observed in either group. The distribution of acid phosphatase in the males attending the infertility clinic, unlike that of the controls, was found to be bimodal. 32 presumably infertile males had acid phosphatase values exceeding the control mean +/- 2 SD. These 32 nevertheless did not have a significantly different mean ejaculate volume, sperm motility, morphology or viability, when compared with the group with normal acid phosphatase levels. Causes of the bimodal distribution of concentrations of acid phosphatase are discussed.
在一项涉及176名前往不育症诊所就诊的男性以及88名等待择期输精管切除术的对照组男性的研究中，发现前一组的精液酸性磷酸酶活性显著更高（p小于0.001）。然而，在两组中均未观察到精液酸性磷酸酶水平与射精量、精子活力、存活率、形态、精液锌、镁或果糖之间存在明确关联。与对照组不同，前往不育症诊所就诊的男性中酸性磷酸酶的分布呈双峰状。32名推测为不育的男性其酸性磷酸酶值超过对照组平均值±2个标准差。然而，与酸性磷酸酶水平正常的组相比，这32名男性的平均射精量、精子活力、形态或存活率并无显著差异。文中讨论了酸性磷酸酶浓度双峰分布的原因。
