空气污染物、肠道菌群与精液菌群对精液质量影响的研究进展

Research progress on impacts of air pollutants, gut microbiota, and seminal microbiota on semen quality

  • 摘要: 近年来,我国面临着生育率下降与出生人口减少的双重挑战,男性生殖健康问题,尤其是精液质量的下降,已然成为这一趋势的关键推手。同时,空气污染这一环境难题愈发严峻,越来越多的证据表明,空气污染物不仅可通过直接的生物毒性作用损害精液质量,还可能借由改变肠道与精液中的微生物群落结构,进而影响免疫功能、内分泌调节及氧化应激反应,间接地对精液质量产生不良影响。肠道菌群与精液菌群作为人体微生态的重要组成部分,对于维护生殖健康发挥着举足轻重的作用。本文对空气污染物(包括大气颗粒物和气态污染物)、肠道菌群与精液菌群对精液质量影响的研究进展进行概述,深入剖析这些因素之间的相互作用机制,进而探讨他们是如何影响男性生育能力。

     

    Abstract: In recent years, China has been facing the dual challenges of declining fertility rates and births, with male reproductive health issues, especially the decline in semen quality, identified as a pivotal contributor to this phenomenon. Meanwhile, accumulating evidence indicates that air pollutants, an increasingly severe environmental problem, can damage semen quality not only directly through their biological toxicity but also indirectly by disrupting the composition of microbial communities in the gut and semen, thereby dysregulating immune function, endocrine homeostasis, and oxidative stress responses. The gut microbiota and semen microbiota, as important components of the human microecosystem, play crucial roles in maintaining reproductive health. This article comprehensively reviewed the research progress on the potential effects of air pollutants (particulate matter and gaseous pollutants), gut microbiota, and semen microbiota on semen quality. Specifically, it elucidated the mechanisms of interaction between these factors and explored how they affect male fertility.
