Obesity could lower male fertility
Monday, September 22, 2008


Packing on too many pounds may cut down a man's chances of becoming a father.

Researchers at Penn State's College of Medicine studied a small group of men
and found that obese men were less likely to have fathered a child.

Obese men were still less likely to become a father even if the men were
otherwise healthy.

Scientists say too much body fat can cause a man's body to convert
testosterone into estrogen, which lowers his fertility.
