Abstract

Purpose of review: Increasing evidence on the significance of nutrition in reproduction is emerging from both animal and human studies, suggesting an association between nutrition and male fertility. Here, we have highlighted the impact of the various food groups on reproductive hormones and on spermatogenesis, and the effects of classical and latest dietary patterns such as Mediterranean diet, Western diet, intermittent fasting, ketogenic diet, and vegan/vegetarian diet on male fertility.

Recent findings: Nutrients are the precursors of molecules involved in various body's reactions; therefore, their balance is essential to ensure the correct regulation of different systems including the endocrine system. Hormones are strongly influenced by the nutritional status of the individual, and their alteration can lead to dysfunctions or diseases like infertility. In addition, nutrients affect sperm production and spermatogenesis, controlling sexual development, and maintaining secondary sexual characteristics and behaviors. The consumption of fruit, vegetables, fish, processed meats, dairy products, sugars, alcohol, and caffeine importantly impact on male fertility. Among dietary patterns, the Mediterranean diet and the Western diet are most strongly associated with the quality of semen. Nutrients, dietary patterns, and hormonal levels have an impact on male infertility. Therefore, understanding how these factors interact with each other is important for strategies to improve male fertility.

食物选择如何影响男性生育能力。
综述的目的:动物和人类研究都越来越多地证明营养在生殖中的重要性,这表明营养与男性生育能力之间存在联系。在这里,我们强调了不同食物组对生殖激素和精子发生的影响,以及地中海饮食、西方饮食、间歇性禁食、生酮饮食和纯素食/素食等经典和最新饮食模式对男性生育能力的影响。最近的发现:营养素是参与身体各种反应的分子的前体;因此,它们的平衡对于确保包括内分泌系统在内的不同系统的正确调节至关重要。激素受个体营养状况的强烈影响,其改变可能导致功能障碍或不孕等疾病。此外,营养物质影响精子的产生和精子发生,控制性发育,维持第二性特征和行为。水果、蔬菜、鱼类、加工肉类、乳制品、糖、酒精和咖啡因的消费对男性生育能力有重要影响。在饮食模式中,地中海饮食和西方饮食与精液质量的关系最为密切。营养素、饮食模式和激素水平对男性不育有影响。因此,了解这些因素如何相互作用对于提高男性生育率的策略很重要。

期刊介绍: This journal aims to provide comprehensive review articles that emphasize significant developments in nutrition research emerging in recent publications. By presenting clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to discuss the influence of nutrition on major health conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and obesity, as well as the impact of nutrition on genetics, metabolic function, and public health. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas across the field. Section Editors select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field, and an Editorial Board of more than 25 internationally diverse members reviews the annual table of contents, suggests topics of special importance to their country/region, and ensures that topics and current and include emerging research.
