Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the genital morphology and spermatogenesis process in obese male mice. Materials and method: Male mice (Swiss albino) were divided into two groups, (12 animals/group), the NFD group (Normal-fat diet) and the other for the HFD group (High-fat diet). Mice were examined for markers such as the weight of sex organs, semen analysis, serum testosterone levels, and seminal vesicle diameters after 6 weeks of obesity induction. Results: The testes and epididymis of mice in the HFD group were smaller than those in the NFD group (p<0.05). The HFD group's sperm concentration and the percentage of non-progressive and progressive sperms were lower than those of the NFD group (p<0.001). Additionally, the HFD group showed a higher proportion of immotile sperm and abnormal morphology of sperm than that of NFD group (p<0.001). The serum testosterone levels in the HFD group were 150% higher than those in the NFD group (p=0.001). The seminal vesicle diameters of mice in the HFD group was 8.35% smaller than that of mice in the NFD group (p<0.05). Conclusion: Obese mice displayed reproductive impairment after 6 weeks of modeling with a high-fat diet.
