Spermatogenesis requires the concerted action of thousands of genes, all contributing to its efficiency to a different extent. The Y chromosome contains several testis-specific genes and among them the AZF region genes on the Yq and the TSPY1 array on the Yp are the most relevant candidates for spermatogenic function.

Telomere Length and Male Fertility [PDF]
Over the past decade, telomeres have attracted increasing attention due to the role they play in human fertility. However, conflicting results have been reported on the possible association between sperm telomere length (STL) and leukocyte telomere length (LTL) and the quality of the sperm parameters.

Microplastics: A Threat for Male Fertility [PDF]
Much of the planet is swimming in discarded plastic, which is harming animal and possibly human health. Once at sea, sunlight, wind, and wave action break down plastic waste into small particles: the microplastics (MPs). Currently, particular attention has been drawn to their effects on aquatic environments but the health risks, especially in mammals ...

Leucospermia and Male Fertility [PDF]
The evaluation of smears of normozoospermic men showed a clear leucospermia in 15% of the patients. There was a slight motility inhibition of the spermatozoa and head-to-head agglutination in the direct surroundings of the leucocytes. Phagocytosis of sperm heads by granulocytes was also evident.

Radiations and male fertility [PDF]
During recent years, an increasing percentage of male infertility has to be attributed to an array of environmental, health and lifestyle factors. Male infertility is likely to be affected by the intense exposure to heat and extreme exposure to pesticides, radiations, radioactivity and other hazardous substances.

Male fertility as a marker for health [PDF]
Male reproduction is a complex biological process, and male factor infertility is increasingly recognized as a biomarker for overall male health. Emerging data suggest associations between male reproduction and medical disease (genetic, infectious, chronic comorbid conditions), psychological disease, environmental exposures, dietary habits, medications

Hypertension and Male Fertility
As the age of paternity rises in the developed world, issues of chronic disease may affect prospective fathers. Given the high prevalence of hypertension, researchers have begun to explore the relationship between hypertensive disease and male fertility. The current literature suggests an association between hypertension and semen quality.

Environmental regulation of male fertility is mediated through Arabidopsis transcription factors bHLH89, 91, and 10 [PDF]
Formation of functional pollen and successful fertilization rely on the spatial and temporal regulation of anther and pollen development. This process responds to environmental cues to maintain optimal fertility despite climatic changes.

Fertility Preservation in Hypogonadal Men
Fertility preservation among men with secondary hypogonadism is an extensive topic with contemporary regimens emerging. The original approach of testosterone replacement therapy has long been replaced by a variety of therapies as the understanding of the
