Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the physiological effects of weight loss on seminal parameters in male participants with reduced reproductive capacity. Learning more about the physiological role of weight loss on reproductive function and metabolic profile of overweight and obese men may give us a better understanding of male fertility and improve the management of patients with reduced fertility. The effects of weight loss on seminal quality are not well understood.
Detailed description
Participants will receive dietary supplements or National Health Service (NHS) advice on healthy eating to achieve weight loss.
