Human Spermatozoa and Temperature: The Elephant in the Room

10 Sept 2015

Abstract excerpt

Men are notable for low sperm production, relative to that of other large mammals, and often inferior morphology and motility of their spermatozoa. The extent to which temperature plays a role in this picture has been a moot point. However, animal experiments suggest that an increased scrotal temperature of approximately +4°C brought by inguinal clothing has a negative impact on the germinal epithelium and on the...
