seminal plasma activity is very low in obstructive azoospermia specimens, low in nonobstructive azoospermia, moderate in oligozoospermia while higher in normozoospermia. HO-2 expression in all studied groups whereas HO-1 is highly expressed in fertile normozoospermic group compared with other groups Homo sapiens
