Relationships between metabolic status, seminal adipokines and reproductive functions in men from infertile couples.

CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest an involvement of seminal adipokines to modulate fertility in men with MS, and that seminal IL-6 could play a beneficial role on sperm functionality. Further mechanistic studies are necessary to investigate the precise roles of these adipokines in male reproduction.
