Abstract

The January 2023 Journal Club was dedicated to a study by Andersen et al. (2022), inspiring discussion about the effects of diet-induced weight loss on male infertility, the long-term strategies to maintain improved semen parameters following weight loss and GLP-1 receptor agonist medications as a strategy for clinical management of obesity-related infertility.
