Semen quality, infertility and mortality in the USA - 0 views

  •  
    Men with infertility associated with 2.3 fold higher risk of death. The factors evaluated were semen volume, sperm concentration, sperm motility, total sperm count, total motile sperm count.  Those that have 2 or more positive parameters were associated with increased death compared to those with normal semen analysis.

The impact of male overweight on semen quality and outcome of assisted reproduction Tho... - 0 views

  •  
    Abstract only. Study in men seeking reproductive assistance found that increasing BMI had no negative impact on sperm concentration, sperm count, motility and seminal volume.

  •  
    retrospective cohort finds mild but significant relationships b/t BMI and total Testosterone, Testosterone:Estradiol and Estradiol alone.  BMI was inversely correlated with Testosterone and the T:E2 ratio; but directly correlated with E2 alone. There was also a negative correlation with sperm concentration, motility and morphology.

Leptin Level and Oxidative Stress Contribute to Obesity-Induced Low Testosterone in Mur... - 0 views

  •  
    mouse study finds that increased oxidative stress and high leptin levels in obese mice led to decreased sperm count, decreased sperm motility, and low T.

Influence of tumor necrosis factor α inhibitors on testicular function and se... - 0 views

  •  
    Cause and effect cannot be taken from this study.  However, TNF-alpha is known to disrupt testicular function, in this case the study found decreased sperm motility, lower Testosterone levels, and increased LH and FSH at baseline.  Improvement was seen after anti-TNF-alpha therapy. The point of this study should be why the elevated TNF-alpha and attack there.

Functional Importance of 1α,25(OH)2-Vitamin D3 and the Identification of Its ... - 0 views

  •  
    Vitamin D plays role in healthy Testes function.  This signaling occurs through genomic and non-genomic signaling pathways.  Testosterone production is influenced, sperm motility and spermatogenesis is influenced.

  •  
    low Testosterone and abnormal sperm morphology and motility found to be associated with Celiac disease with men in small study.

Improvement in semen quality associated with decreasing occupational lead exposure - Vi... - 0 views

  • These results support the notion that occupational lead exposure at currently acceptable levels has a small adverse effect on sperm quality, especially sperm motility, and that this effect is at least partially reversible
  •  
    Reducing lead exposure levels partially reverses male sperm quality

  •  
    Small study of 40 men with Celiac disease found to have improved sperm count and motility following elimination of gluten

Vitamin D is associated with testosterone and hypogonadism in Chinese men: Results from... - 0 views

  • lower 25(OH)D level was significantly associated with lower total T, E2, SHBG, LH and FSH levels after adjusting for age, residence area, economic status and current smoker
  • association between 25(OH)D status and hypogonadism in Chinese men and confirms that this relationship is present in a large population
  • VDR knockout mutant mice showed gonadal insufficiencies
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • High LH and FSH levels in the male mice indicated hypergonadotropic hypogonadism
  • Another mouse study reported a tendency towards low testosterone/LH ratio and Leydig cell hyperplasia in VDR null mice
  • The serum testosterone levels could increase to normal values in vitamin D-deficient rats replete with vitamin D
  • VDR knockout mice had decreased sperm count, reduced sperm motility, and histological abnormality of the testis
  • vitamin D supplementation increases testosterone levels in non-diabetic subjects
  • The data from the European Male Ageing Study [9] indicated that 25(OH)D is positively associated with total T
  •  
    Study of 713 Chinese men finds a correlation between low vitamin D and low total Testosterone.
