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

ConclusionThis study confirms a link between obesity, increasing intestinal permeability and endotoxin exposure, and oxidative mediated sperm DNA damage. This warrants further investigation to fully understand the effect of metabolic endotoxemia on male reproductive function which could result in the new therapies to improve male fertility potential.
