Abstract

Obesity constitutes a serious health concern as its  increasing rapidly worldwide. What is more alarming  is that obesity is increasingly now being observed  among all age groups in India. Obesity is gateway  to many health issues including impairing fertility  of both males and females. It has been observed in  obese male and female individuals have altered  adipokine and other hormonal profile, with poor  quality of sperm and oocyte and varied epigenetic  modifications of the germ cells. The review focuses  on various aspects of how obesity reduces fertility in  both the genders. The review also discusses some of  the obesity management procedures which thereby  also might help in controlling infertility among  obese individuals, particularly, how brown adipose  tissue (BAT) might be a focus for new therapeutics  for obesity by increasing energy expenditure in  obese individuals.
