Overview

Narrative review demonstrates seasonal and experimental heat stress reduces semen quality in mammals, highlighting antioxidant supplementation as a potential therapeutic countermeasure.

Key Points

Evaluate the physiological relevance of heat-induced testicular hyperthermia across experimental models and seasonal variations, while examining oxidative stress and the protective potential of antioxidant supplements.
Synthesized experimental models of hyperthermia, including surgical cryptorchidism, hot water immersion, scrotal insulation, and ambient environmental heating.
Reviewed cohort and observational studies assessing seasonal impacts on sperm count, motility, and morphology across diverse geographic climates.
Surveyed biochemical literature linking testicular thermal stress to oxidative pathways and assessed antioxidant supplementation countermeasures.
Experimental testicular heating reliably damages sensitive spermatocytes and spermatids, precipitating pronounced reductions in sperm output and motility weeks post-exposure.
Climate influences seasonal semen parameters differently, with summer temperatures improving quality in sub-zero regions but decreasing or showing no effect on sperm quality in subtropical regions.
Oxidative stress acts as a primary or contributory pathway in heat-induced testicular damage, which antioxidant supplementation can partially reverse or mitigate.
