One of the putative causes being nutritional excess from continuous consumption of high fat diet (HFD) leading to insulin resistance albeit the specific relationship is not fully understood. Besides, there are many contradictions in the available literature on the subject. Therefore, we sought to characterize in detail the effects of HFD upon testicular function and sperm quality in mice with particular focus on isolated testicular germ cells and spermatozoa, respectively. In this study, we treated 8\u2010week old male Swiss albino mice with HFD for the duration of 5 months; control animals were reared on standard diet. We observed HFD induced progressive deterioration of testicular histoarchitecture leading to disruption of seminiferous tubules, increased vacuolization, and partial to complete tubular atrophy. Time dependent adverse effects on sperm count, motility, and morphology were noticed. Interestingly, numerous anomalies were detectable in sperm head and tail structures reflecting loss of reproductive capacity due to HFD. Maximal tissue and sperm damage was conspicuous at the endpoint, prompting us to examine oxidative stress markers. Enhanced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, augmentation of prooxidant activities, and compromised testicular antioxidant defences clearly implied conditions of oxidative stress in long\u2010term HFD treated mice. This was concomitant with the onset of abnormally enhanced testicular germ cell apoptosis involving the mitochondrial intrinsic pathway. Thus, our findings revealed that ROS mediated deregulation of testicular germ cell apoptosis is critical in male reproductive impairment due to diet induced obesity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/jcp.26581","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,17]],"date-time":"2018-04-17T13:55:28Z","timestamp":1523973328000},"page":"6896-6909","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":69,"title":["Testicular germ cell apoptosis and sperm defects in mice upon long\u2010term high fat diet feeding"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"233","author":[{"given":"Songita","family":"Ghosh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Endocrinology and Metabolism Laboratory, Department of Zoology (Centre for Advanced Studies), School of Life Sciences Visva\u2010Bharati (A Central University)  Santiniketan West Bengal India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9253-172X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sutapa","family":"Mukherjee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Endocrinology and Metabolism Laboratory, Department of Zoology (Centre for Advanced Studies), School of Life Sciences Visva\u2010Bharati (A Central University)  Santiniketan West Bengal India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1477-7827-12-45"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.91.25.12332"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1530\/REP-10-0232"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2164\/jandrol.112.016535"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1095\/biolreprod30.4.833"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12951-014-0061-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0029665107005356"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.fertnstert.2010.11.044"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2605.2010.01092.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/humrep\/dev111"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4061\/2011\/686137"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0304-4165(83)90188-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1074\/jbc.C113.495473"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0003-2697(70)90083-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/humupd\/dmp048"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_17_1","first-page":"1012","article-title":"Palm oil diet\u2010induced obesity impairs male rat reproductive performance","volume":"2","author":"Defo P.
