damage to your sperm DNA<
According to scientists — diabetes may destroy man’s sperm cell DNA
and in return affect male fertility.
The scientists from Belfast in Northern Ireland discovered that males
with diabetes had higher DNA destruction in that part of sperm which
usually have the genetic content.
The latest study compared sperm of 27 males with type-1 diabetes, to
the sperm of 29 non-diabetic males.
The scientists have discovered that the sperm DNA in diabetic males
had higher levels of fragmentation 52% compared to 32% in non-diabetic
males. There was also a greater rate of deletions in the DNA inside
their mitochondria.
The scientist found that the sperms of the males with diabetes were in
good health in many respects. The shape and number of the sperm from
diabetic males was absolutely in good condition. But, when the DNA was
tested, it was found that there was more destruction to the DNA of the
diabetic males.
The study result concludes that — diabetes of type 1 may lead to less
fertility in diabetic males. The affect on the male’s fertility by
diabetes was not studied in detail, and the process through which the
destruction may occur is not known yet. More research is required to
know how diabetes destroys sperm. The Diabetes Health identifies that
most of the type 1(diabetes) fathers can have healthy kids.
