Transforming growth factor-beta cytokines have various biological effects in female reproductive tissue, including modulation of inflammatory response and induction of imune tolerance to seminal antigens in the reproductive tract. However, no studies have analyzed the presence of growth/differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15/macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1) in seminal fluid or demonstrated the quantity and form of GDF-15, its possible role or the relationship between its concentration and semen quality.
