Ultra-Processed Foods Linked to Weight Gain, Hormonal Disruption, and Reduced Sperm Quality in Men
A new study from the University of Copenhagen highlights the detrimental effects of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) on men's health. The research focused on three major issues: weight gain, hormone disruption, and reduced sperm quality. The study involved 43 men aged 20-35 who were given two different ... [More info]
Today, accumulating evidence highlights the impact of oxidative stress (OS) on semen quality. It is considered to be a key factor contributing to the decline in male fertility. OS is detected in 30–80% of men with infertility, highlighting its strong association with impaired reproductive function and with clinical outcomes following the use of assisted reproductive technologies. Spermatozoa are particularly vulnerable to oxidative damage due to their high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and limited antioxidant defense abilities. OS arises from an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species and the capacity to neutralize or repair their adverse effects. Evidence indicates that OS leads to lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and genomic instability. Micronutrient–antioxidant therapies can play a key role in infertility improvement by neutralizing free radicals and preventing cellular damage. Many different micronutrients, including L-carnitine, L-glutathione, coenzyme Q10, selenium, and zinc, as well as vitamins complexes, are proposed to improve sperm parameters and male fertility potential. This study aims to review the impact of antioxidant supplementation on semen parameters, including sperm volume, motility, concentration, morphology, genome integrity (maturity and fragmentation), and in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes. Antioxidant intake and a balanced lifestyle reduce oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, enhancing the spermatogenesis and spermiogenesis processes, improving sperm quality, and protecting DNA integrity.
