Male obesity and infertility: whether the case in excess weight?

The prevalence of overweight and obesity in men of reproductive age is increasing worldwide, in some Western countries more than 70% of men over the age of 18 are overweight or obese. Obesity in men is associated with men's subfertility, disrupts the production of sex hormones, reduce sperm count, increases oxidative DNA damage of sperm and causes changes in the epigenetic status of sperm. These changes in the functions of the ejaculate as the result of obesity associated with developmental disorders of the embryo, a decrease in rigorosamente and increase frequency of miscarriages.





Animal models have shown that these adverse reproductive effects can be passed on to offspring, ie men's health at conception can affect the health of children. In addition, male obesity is associated with comorbidities, including metabolic syndrome, hypercholesterolemia, hyperleptinemia and predisposition to inflammation, which are independently from each other are associated with male reproductive function. Together, these results show that the effect of male obesity on fertility are likely multifactorial, with the associated concomitant diseases that also affect sperm subsequent pregnancy and child health.published
