Diet-induced obesity impairs spermatogenesis: the critical role of NLRP3 in Sertoli cells
1 Aug 2022
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Accumulating evidence indicates a key role of Sertoli cell (SC) malfunction in spermatogenesis impairment induced by obesity. Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor with a pyrin domain 3 (NLRP3) is expressed in SCs, but the role of NLRP3 in the pathological process of obesity-induced male infertility remains unclear. METHODS: NLRP3-deficient mice were fed a high-fat diet for 24 weeks...
