Nanette Santoro, MD, an Albert Einstein College of Medicine obstetrician-gynaecologist trained in reproductive endocrinology, said that the findings of the study, performed in New York in nearly 300 very overweight men, were unexpected and suggests that being overweight does not decrease the production of sperm .
Increasing body weight was linked to lower testosterone in the 31 study participants for whom testosterone was tested.
Santoro warned that the findings should not serve as an excuse for overweight men to avoid losing weight.
The results will be presented at The Endocrine Society’s 90th Annual Meeting in San Francisco.
