Relationships between total testicular volume, reproductive parameters and surrogate measures of adiposity in men presenting for couple's infertility
Andrologia Apr 24, 2018
Ehala-Aleksejev K, et al. - Researchers probed the associations between total testicular volume (TTV), reproductive parameters and adiposity measures: Body mass index, waist circumference and waist-to-height ratio. They performed the semen analysis and measured the reproductive hormone levels in 2,672 male patients (mean age 32.6) due to couple's infertility. Findings suggested an association of adiposity with a significant testosterone level decline but it did not have a major effect on the gonadotrophin levels. Divergent results were demonstrated in sperm parameters in different TTV groups in the presence of central adiposity.
