Since the prostate gland secretes specific substances, several investigators have suggested that measurement of these products may be useful for the evaluation of prostatitis. In our laboratory we have measured seminal zinc as a marker of prostatic secretion to establish normal values and define the confidence limits for this assay. Zinc assays were performed on whole semen, fractions of the split ejaculate, and expressed prostatic fluid from among a population of 456 men. We hope that these data will be useful when compared with data from patients with prostatic disease.
由于前列腺分泌特定物质，一些研究人员提出，测量这些产物可能有助于前列腺炎的评估。在我们实验室，我们测量了精液锌作为前列腺分泌的标志物，以确定正常值并界定该检测方法的置信区间。对456名男性群体的全精液、分段射精的各部分以及前列腺液进行了锌检测。我们希望将这些数据与前列腺疾病患者的数据进行比较时会有所帮助。
