Hyperthermia and not hypoxia may reduce sperm motility and morphology following testicular hyperthermia
The mammalian testis typically operates on the brink of hypoxia; the long-standing dogma is that increased testicular temperature increases metabolism, but blood flow is unaffected and the resulting hypoxia reduces sperm motility and morphology. In rats and mice, oxygen (O2) content of inspired air...
