Alcohol's effects on male reproduction

The male reproductive system consists of the hypothalamus, the anterior pituitary gland, and the testes. Alcohol can interfere with the function of each of these components, thereby causing impotence, infertility, and reduced male secondary sexual characteristics. In the testes, alcohol can adversely affect the Leydig cells, which produce and secrete the hormone testosterone. Studies found that heavy alcohol consumption results in reduced testosterone levels in the blood. Alcohol also impairs th

Smoke, alcohol and drug addiction and male fertility - Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology

Almost 15% of all couples trying to conceive are affected by infertility, and in almost half of these cases male infertility is the sole or a contributing factor [1]. The decline of male fertility is not an empty threat: evidence points at a steadily progressive decline of sperm concentration over the past 35 years [2]. These reports have rekindled the interest in the potential impact of environmental factors and lifestyle on fertility: in order to decrease the social costs of male infertility a

Study on the short-term effects of increased alcohol and cigarette consumption in healthy young men’s seminal quality - Scientific Reports

Infertility affects about 15% of couples attempting to conceive and in half of these cases the cause is related to male reproductive issues1. A large percentage of male infertility cases are idiopathic (~40%), though in the recent years the influence of oxidative stress (OS) in decreased semen quality has been discussed2,3. The excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the male reproductive system raises concern due to their potential toxic effects on sperm quality and function, w
