Abstract

Inhibin B is a glycoprotein hormone produced by the Sertoli cells of the testes and suppresses pituitary synthesis of FSH. Inhibin B may also have additional paracrine roles within the testes. Low serum inhibin B levels are indicative of poor or absent spermatogenesis. Body mass index (BMI) has been demonstrated to negatively impact sperm quality (i.e. chromatin integrity) and quantity (i.e. normal-motile counts) as well as reproductive endocrine levels (i.e. lower serum testosterone). Little to no information is available with regards to the impact BMI has on inhibin B levels.
