Diet-induced obesity impairs spermatogenesis: the critical role of NLRP3 in Sertoli cells

Abstract Background Accumulating evidence indicates a key role of Sertoli cell (SC) malfunction in spermatogenesis impairment induced by obesity. Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor with a pyrin domain 3 (NLRP3) is expressed in SCs, but the role of NLRP3 in the pathological proce...
