ABSTRACT
In the present study, serum estradiol and progesterone concentrations were determined in men representing infertile couples. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance [ANOVA], Tukey multiple comparison tests and Student's t-test with regard to estradiol, normal, low and high concentrations were observed. Mean serum concentrations of E2 [pg/ml] in the three groups were 28.25 +/- 2.13, 3.14 +/- 1.23 and 82.62 +/- 19.3 pg/ml respectively. The serum concentrations of E2 were significantly different [p<0.0001], whereas mean age did not differ significantly [p>0.05] among the groups. Space of serum progesterone levels, both normal [<0.3 ng/ml] as well as elevated cases were seen. The mean serum concentrations of progesterone in the groups were 0.039 +/- 0.018 ng/ml and 0.93 +/- 0.39 ng/ml respectively. There was a significant difference [p<0.002] between the groups with respect to mean serum concentration of progesterone. However, mean age was not significantly different [p>0.05] between the groups. It can be concluded that endocrine screening of men with estradiol may detect the vast majority of clinically significant endocrinopathies
