摘要
Even though the aminopeptidase and amylase are the major liquefying factors in the liquefaction process of the ejaculated semen-coagulum, the exact nature of ''switching on'' phenomena has not been elucidated yet. Monitoring the rate of production of the asborbyl radical, an indirect method for oxyradical-stress measurement, this prima facie study reports the involvement of oxygen radical in the liquefaction process of coagulated semen.
