Increased seminal plasma lead levels adversely affect the fertility potential of sperm in IVF

1 Feb 2003

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Lead remains in high levels in the environment and is known to reduce fertility in animal models, but a direct link between lead exposures and human infertility has not yet been established. METHODS: In a prospective, double-blind study of the metal ion levels and sperm function, semen was obtained from partners of 140 consecutive women undergoing their first IVF cycle. Lead in seminal plasma was...
