Effects of Highly Polluted Environment on Sperm Telomere Length: A Pilot Study

Effects of Highly Polluted Environment on Sperm Telomere Length: A Pilot Study

High environmental pressure may impair male fertility by affecting sperm quality, but the real effect remains controversial. Herein, we assessed the influence of environmental exposure on telomere length (TL) in both leukocytes (LTL) and sperm cells (STL). A pilot biomonitoring study was conducted i...
