A link between obesity and male infertility, concerning particularly semen quality, has been reported [1-3]. Indeed, circulating levels of adipokines, bioactive peptides secreted by adipose tissue [4], are correlated with sperm quality in both animals and humans [1, 2]. In this context, levels of adipokines in seminal plasma could influence sperm function and represent useful biomarkers to evaluate fertility-related physiological and pathophysiological conditions and to further appreciate their role [...]
