Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus wanted to explore how stress impacts sperm function at a cellular level.

The study was driven by concerns over global declines in fertility and semen quality.

Researchers observed that stress experienced two to three months before sperm collection was associated with higher sperm motility in healthy male participants.

The study focused on sperm motility and mitochondrial function but did not assess if these changes impact embryo or fetal development.

Future studies will likely explore how these effects might vary among individuals and determine whether similar outcomes apply to different types of stress or other mammalian models.

The researchers plan to examine the roles of various signaling molecules and proteins within the extracellular vesicles.
