Soy-based formula? Neonatal plant estrogen exposure leads to adult infertility
in female mice - Science Daily, 5/2/12 - "A paper
published May 2 in Biology of Reproduction describes the effects of brief
prenatal exposure to plant estrogens on
the mouse oviduct, modeling the effects of soy-based baby formula on human
infants. The results suggest that exposure to estrogenic chemicals in the womb
or during childhood has the potential to affect a woman's fertility as an adult,
possibly providing the mechanistic basis for some cases of unexplained female
infertility ... part of the National Institutes of Health, previously
demonstrated that neonatal exposure to the plant estrogen genistein results in
complete infertility in female adult mice. Causes of infertility included
failure to ovulate, reduced ability of the oviduct to support embryo development
before implantation, and failure of the uterus to support effective implantation
of blastocyst-stage embryos ... The team now reports that neonatal exposure to
genistein changes the level of immune response in the mouse oviduct, known as
mucosal immune response. Some of the immune response genes were altered
beginning from the time of genistein treatment, while others were altered much
later, when the mouse was in early pregnancy. Together, those changes led to
harmfully altered immune responses and to compromised oviduct support for
preimplantation embryo development, both of which would likely contribute to
infertility ... estrogenic chemical exposure to the female fetus, infant, child,
and adolescent all have potential impacts on mucosal immunity in the
reproductive tract and, therefore, on adult fertility. The authors present the
view that limiting such exposures, including minimizing use of soy-based baby
formula, is a step toward maintaining female reproductive health"

Fatty
diets may be associated with reduced semen quality - Science Daily, 3/14/12
- "The study of 99 men in the USA found an association
between a high total fat intake and lower total sperm count and concentration.
It also found that men who ate more omega-3 polyunsaturated fats (the type of
fat often found in fish and plant oils) had better formed sperm than men who ate
less ... if men make changes to their diets so as to reduce the amount of
saturated fat they eat and increase their omega-3 intake, then this may not only
improve their general health, but could improve their reproductive health too
... the relationship between dietary fats and semen quality was largely driven
by the consumption of saturated fats. Men consuming the most saturated fats had
a 35% lower total sperm count than men eating the least, and a 38% lower sperm
concentration"

Micronutrient combination may boost male fertility: Study - Nutra USA,
1/4/12 - "group received supplements providing total
daily doses of 440 mg L-carnitine, 250 mg L-arginine, 40 mg zinc, 120 mg vitamin
E, 80 mg glutathione, 60 micrograms of selenium, 15 mg coenzyme Q10, and 800
micrograms of folic acid ... men receiving the active supplement displayed a 33%
improvement in ejaculatory volume, a 215% improvement in sperm cell density, and
a 23% improvement in total sperm motility"

Effect of
α-lipoic acid on sperm quality, reproductive tract measures in thinner exposed
rats - Andrologia. 2011 Sep 15 - "The aim of this study was to investigate
the effect of alpha lipoic acid (ALA, an universal antioxidant) on
thinner-induced testicular toxicity regarding spermatological features, body and
reproductive tract measures in rats. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided
into five treatment groups, eight rats in each. Control group was treated with
placebo. Group O was given only olive oil. The group L received only α-lipoic
acid. Thinner + Lipoic Acid group received thinner + α-lipoic acid and group T
received only thinner. Thinner alone administration caused significant decreases
in body and some reproductive organ weights, sperm count, motility and sperm
membrane integrity, and significant increases in seminal vesicle weight and
abnormal sperm rates compared with the values in the control group. However,
concomitant administration of thinner with α-lipoic acid provided significant
improvements in sperm parameters compared with values in alone group T. In
conclusion, the results of this study suggest that α-lipoic acid has a
protective effect against thinner-induced reproductive dysfunction in male rats"

Antioxidants of growing interest to address infertility, erectile
dysfunction - Science Daily, 7/28/11 - "A
growing body of evidence suggests that antioxidants may have significant
value in addressing infertility issues in both women and men, including
erectile dysfunction, and researchers say that large, specific clinical
studies are merited to determine how much they could help ... Some commonly
used antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, could help, Hagen said. But
others, such as lipoic acid, are a little more cutting-edge and set up a
biological chain reaction that has a more sustained impact on vasomotor
function and health ... Polyphenols, the phytochemicals that often give
vegetables their intense color and are also found in chocolate and tea, are
also of considerable interest"

Vitamin
D increases speed of sperm cells, researchers discover - Science Daily,

additionally that stimulation of human spermatooza in the laboratory with
activated vitamin D can increase their forward movement" - See

Effect
of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation on semen profile and
enzymatic anti-oxidant capacity of seminal plasma in infertile men with
idiopathic oligoasthenoteratospermia: a double-blind, placebo-controlled,
randomised study - Andrologia. 2011 Feb;43(1):38-47 -
"Effective medical treatments of infertile men with
idiopathic oligoasthenoteratospermia (OAT) have yet to be determined ... A
significant improvement of sperm cell total count (from 38.7 ± 8.7 ' 10(6)
to 61.7 ± 11.2 ' 10(6) , P = 0.001) and sperm cell concentration (from 15.6
± 4.1 ' 10(6) per ml to 28.7 ± 4.4 ' 10(6) per ml, P = 0.001) was observed
in the omega-3 group. A significant positive correlation was found between
the EPA and DHA in seminal plasma and the semen parameters. Seminal plasma
EPA and DHA concentrations were positively correlated with seminal plasma
SOD-like and catalase-like activity (both P = 0.001). In seminal plasma,
both SOD-like and catalase-like activity were positively correlated with
sperm count, sperm motility, and sperm morphology. Oligoasthenoteratospermic
men with low levels of EPA and DHA may benefit from omega-3 FA
supplementation" - See

Increasing fertility threefold with DHEA? - Science Daily, 7/1/10 -
"women
being treated for infertility who also received supplements of DHEA were three
times more likely to conceive than women being treated without the additional
drug ... The latter group took 75mg of the supplement daily for 40 days before
starting fertility treatments, and continued for up to five months ... In the
DHEA group, there was a 23% live birth rate as opposed to a 4% rate in the
control group ... More than that, of the pregnancies in the DHEA group, all but
one ended in healthy deliveries" - See

Lack of
omega-3 fatty acid linked to male infertility, study suggests - Science
Daily, 4/12/10 - "In our experiment, we used 'knockout' mice that lacked the
gene responsible for an enzyme important in making docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
In the absence of DHA, male mice are basically infertile, producing few if any
misshaped sperm that can't get where they need to go ... But, when DHA was
introduced into the diet, fertility was completely restored. "It was very
striking. When we fed the mice DHA, all these abnormalities were prevented,"" -

Antidepressants may cause infertility in males - Fox News, 2/6/12 -
"SSRIs cause the sperm to be abnormally shaped and
unable to swim properly, which is believed to be a direct result of the
medication on the sperm itself. These changes in shape and function of
sperm, added to the drop in overall sperm count, can push men into the
"infertile" range while he is taking the SSRI ... the situation is
reversible and corrects itself once the medication is discontinued"

Caffeine consumption linked to female infertility, study suggests -
Science Daily, 7/20/11 - "By studying tubes from
mice, Ward and his team discovered that caffeine stops the actions of
specialized pacemaker cells in the wall of the tubes. These cells coordinate
tube contractions so that when they are inhibited, eggs can't move down the
tubes. In fact these muscle contractions play a bigger role than the beating
cilia in moving the egg towards the womb ... This provides an intriguing
explanation as to why women with high caffeine consumption often take longer
to conceive than women who do not consume caffeine"

than the safe recommended exposure ... this study, we are trying to explore
what the outcome can be if we are continuously exposed to BPA in our routine
life ... BPA-exposed mice received a dose that was twice the daily upper
limit of safe exposure recommended by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
and the Environmental Protection Agency ... At a BPA dosage of 100
micrograms per kilogram of body weight daily, the mice also had structural
defects in their testicles and were considered subfertile. If the same dose
had been given longer than two months, Singh speculated that it might lead
to infertility"
