• males fed a high-fat diet (HFD) for 14 weeks (to induce obesity) show a significantly lower testicular expression of BAX and cleaved-caspase-3 protein than HFD-fed wild-type males
|
• males fed a HFD for 14 weeks show a significantly higher sperm forward motility (%) than HFD-fed wild-type males
|
• males fed a HFD for 14 weeks show a significantly higher sperm motility (%) than HFD-fed wild-type males
|
• males fed a HFD for 14 weeks show a significantly higher caudal epididymal sperm concentration than HFD-fed wild-type males
|
• males fed a HFD for 14 weeks show a less distorted arrangement of germ cells in the seminiferous tubules, a better Johnsen's score, and a significantly lower teratozoospermic ratio than HFD-fed wild-type males, indicating protection from HFD/obesity-induced spermatogenic defects

cellular
• males fed a HFD for 14 weeks show a significantly lower number of gammaH2AX+ germ cells per seminiferous tubule than HFD-fed wild-type males, indicating protection from HFD-induced oxidative damage
|
• males fed a high-fat diet (HFD) for 14 weeks (to induce obesity) show a significantly lower testicular expression of BAX and cleaved-caspase-3 protein than HFD-fed wild-type males
|
• males fed a HFD for 14 weeks show a significantly higher sperm forward motility (%) than HFD-fed wild-type males
|
• males fed a HFD for 14 weeks show a significantly higher sperm motility (%) than HFD-fed wild-type males
|
• males fed a HFD for 14 weeks show improved testicular redox imbalance with a significantly higher NADPH/NADP ratio and significantly lower malondialdehyde (MDA) and protein carbonyls in the testes than HFD-fed wild-type males, indicating protection from HFD-induced oxidative stress
