The incidence of male obesity in reproductively age men is epidemic and continually rising with close to 70% of men of reproductive age classified as overweight or obese. Male obesity is not only associated with sub fertility but also changes to pregnancy outcomes and influencing child health. This project will try to uncover the molecular changes in sperm, providing potential mechanisms for the abnormal foetal and pregnancy health seen as a result of male obesity.

育龄男性中男性肥胖症的发病率非常普遍，并且持续上升，近 70% 的育龄男性被归类为超重或肥胖。男性肥胖不仅与生育力低下有关，而且还会改变妊娠结局并影响儿童健康。该项目将试图揭示精子的分子变化，为男性肥胖导致的胎儿和妊娠健康异常提供潜在机制。
