Abstract

Abstract: As an important organ for male animals to produce sperm and secrete androgen, the temperature regulation of the testes is crucial to the maintenance of their fertility. A series of reactions induced by heat stress, such as oxidative stress, apoptosis, DNA damage, impairment of the blood-testis barrier, as well as abnormal secretion of androgen, will have adverse effects on testicular cells, sperm quality, the ability of sperm to fertilize eggs and support embryonic development. The purpose of this article is to review the temperature regulation mechanism of the testis, the adverse effect of heat stress on testicular cells and sperm quality, so as to provide a reference for the study of the influences of heat stress on male reproduction.

Key words: heat stress, testicular cells, sperm quality, fertilization ability
