Obesity related metabolic endotoxemia is associated with oxidative stress and impaired sperm DNA integrity

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Obesity is known to be associated with inflammation, oxidative stress and a resulting reduction in sperm DNA integrity. Importantly, obesity is also reported to be associated with an increase in intestinal permeability with the passage of intestinal bacteria into the circulation (metabolic endotoxemia) that triggers a systemic state of inflammation and resultant oxidative stress. Therefore, we...
