摘要：

We evaluated possible associations of overweight and obesity with semen parameters, sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF), and different indicators of metabolic and hormonal status in young men (n=226, mean age 22.5 years). Overweight and obese men were found to have a significant deterioration of metabolic health, reduced total sperm count and concentration, serum testosterone, and inhibin B levels, and increased serum leptin and seminal zinc levels in comparison with men with normal weight, although sperm DNA fragmentation, motility, and morphology did not change. In overweight and obese men, increased seminal zinc content appears to perform a protective function via reduction of oxidative stress caused by excess body fat. It is assumed that in the absence of individual lifestyle correction and weight loss for a long time, obese subjects are not protected from the development of reproductive comorbidities, in particular, subfertility and infertility.
