May 2 (UPI) -- Overweight older men experience more negative age-related changes to their sperm cells than those who maintain a healthy weight, a study published Monday found.
These changes mean their sperm cells are less robust, which may result in lower sperm counts and infertility, the researchers said in an article published Monday by the journal Developmental Cell.
