RESULTS: The men were divided into three groups according to the amount of fats they consumed, and those in the third who ate the most fat had a 43 percent lower total sperm count and 38 percent lower sperm concentration than those in the bottom third. The subjects who ate more omega-3 polyunsaturated fats, which are often found in fish and plant oils, had better formed sperm as well.
结果:根据实验者食用的脂肪数量,他们被分为三组,第三组食用的脂肪最多,他们的精子数量比第二组的最后一个实验者的少了43%,精子密度低了38%。那些经常食用omega-3脂肪酸的人,产生的精子质量更好。
CONCLUSION: The amount and type of fats men consume may have an effect on semen quality. More precisely, eating high levels of saturated fats appears to lower total sperm count and concentration.
结论:男性食用的脂肪数量和脂肪类型可能会影响精子质量。准确地说,食用过多的饱和脂肪会降低精子数量和密度。
IMPLICATION: Men should reduce the saturated fats they consume and increase their omega-3 intake. Attaman said in a statement, "This may not only improve their general health, but could improve their reproductive health too."
