Abstract
Spermatogenesis dysfunction is characterized by abnormal morphology, destruction, atrophy of seminiferous tubules, blocked differentiation of spermatogenic cells, decreased sperm count and increased sperm abnormalities. Inflammation, oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress and obesity are important factors leading to spermatogenesis dysfunction. It has been demonstrated that insulin‑like growth factor 2 (IGF2) is closely related to the aforementioned factors. In the present review, the relationship between IGF2 and inflammation, oxidative stress, ER stress and obesity was investigated, providing theoretical and experimental evidence on the role of IGF2 in the prevention and treatment of spermatogenesis dysfunction of male infertility.
期刊介绍：
Molecular Medicine Reports is a monthly, peer-reviewed journal available in print and online, that includes studies devoted to molecular medicine, underscoring aspects including pharmacology, pathology, genetics, neurosciences, infectious diseases, molecular cardiology and molecular surgery. In vitro and in vivo studies of experimental model systems pertaining to the mechanisms of a variety of diseases offer researchers the necessary tools and knowledge with which to aid the diagnosis and treatment of human diseases.
