The potential influence and intervention measures of gut microbiota on sperm: it is time to focus on testis-gut microbiota axis.

As the global male infertility rate continues to rise, there is an urgent imperative to investigate the underlying causes of sustained deterioration in sperm quality. The gut microbiota emerges as a pivotal factor in host health regulation, with mounting evidence highlighting its dual influence on semen. This review underscores the interplay between the Testis-Gut microbiota axis and its consequential effects on sperm.

[Impacts of testis aging on overall health: Advances in studies].

The testis, as one of the important reproductive organs in men, has two major functions of secreting androgens and producing sperm. Androgen and spermatogenesis are the key factors for the evaluation of the testicular function. The lack of androgen or the decline of spermatogenic function is both a symbolic manifestation and a "product" of testis aging.

The relationship between oxidative balance scores and chronic diarrhea and constipation: a population-based study.

Background: Oxidative stress is closely related to gut health. Exposures to oxidative stress in one's diet and lifestyle can be evaluated by the oxidative balance score (OBS). However, the relationship between OBS and intestinal habits is unknown.

Vascular endothelium is the basic way for stem cells to treat erectile dysfunction: a bibliometric study.

Vascular endothelial is considered to be a key factor in the pathogenesis of erectile dysfunction (ED). The purpose is to reveal the research trend of the field of ED and vascular endothelium. In addition, the goal is to discover the role and mechanism of vascular endothelium in ED.
