  Introduction: Several studies have investigated the impact of male obesity on the traditional sperm parameters but it is unclear if in the male obesity, accessory glands secretory function may be altered. In this paper the seminal parameters and the biochemical markers of accessory sex glands are related with the Body Mass Index (BMI). Material and methods: 1148 patients attending a Fertility Center with subfertility were included in the study. Weight and height were recorded to calculate BMI in each patient. Semen parameters and markers of male accessory glands were measured. Pearson´s correlation coefficient has been performed, p-values below 0.01 were considered statistically significant. Results: In HOS tests a reduction was observed in I and II-III obesity groups, sperm /ejaculate number, seminal volume .. Read More»
