Male fertility crisis: what environmental contaminants have got to do with it

Wednesday, July 19, 2023

For many years people tended to blame women for a couple’s infertility – especially in African countries.

Key Points: 
  • For many years people tended to blame women for a couple’s infertility – especially in African countries.
  • And men worldwide – Africa included – are experiencing a worrying trend of decreased sperm count and quality.
  • However, it is clear that environmental contaminants play a large part in declining fertility worldwide.
  • Other contaminants that are increasing in prevalence and show signs of entering our food chain are pesticides and medication.

Impact on male fertility

    • The axis is the part of the endocrine system that controls reproductive functions – the ability to produce sperm in men and eggs in women.
    • We report that contaminants of emerging concern can also act directly on testicles by disrupting the blood-testis barrier.
    • This physical barrier protects the developing sperm from harmful substances that may be present in the bloodstream.

The legacy of fathers

    • But these epigenetic marks can affect how the genes within sperm work without changing the underlying DNA sequence.
    • Yet, these changes can be passed down from a parent to their child.
    • In both cases, epigenetic changes can be passed on to future generations who have not been directly exposed to the contaminants.
    • One category of compounds whose impact on epigenetic marks that has been extensively studied is nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as paracetamol and ibuprofen.

Taking charge

    • But it’s not easy to detect and eradicate these contaminants.
    • Current control measures include regulatory frameworks to limit the use of certain pesticides or pharmaceuticals, and develop safer alternatives.

Africa at the Women’s World Cup football: Nigeria, South Africa, Morocco and Zambia could cause upsets

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, July 18, 2023

Morocco and Zambia are making their Fifa Women’s World Cup debut in 2023.

Key Points: 
  • Morocco and Zambia are making their Fifa Women’s World Cup debut in 2023.
  • South Africa must recover their morale after a pay dispute and Nigeria once again leads the charge for the continent.
  • Although the four African teams to qualify are not among the favourites to lift the World Cup trophy, there’s a strong chance one of them could make it to the knockouts.

Zambia

    • Zambia are hoping to make a big impact as they appear at this elite tournament for the first time.
    • At the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics, the team showed glimpses of brilliance that many expect to see more of.
    • As she is the first professional woman footballer from Zambia, a lot is expected from Banda.

Morocco

    • This will, therefore, be a trailblazing effort that’s bound to attract worldwide attention, especially if Morocco were to win a few matches.
    • Morocco, the 2022 Women’s African Cup of Nations runners-up, will take on two-time champions Germany, Colombia and Korea Republic.
    • The striker is the forward spark Morocco needed, with seven goals in 15 games since her senior international debut in 2021.

South Africa

    • South Africa have become a powerful force in African women’s football.

      South Africa rely on a youthful squad.

    • South Africa will be led by their star player Thembi Kgatlana, who scored the country’s first – and so far only – goal on the World Cup stage when she put Banyana Banyana ahead against Spain in 2019.

Nigeria

    • Nigeria have been to the World Cup ever since its inaugural edition in 1991.

      Nigeria will be led by their star player, Asisat Oshoala, who has a record of success wherever she’s played.

Outside chance


    African women’s teams are not ranked highly as they enter the 2023 Women’s World Cup. Nigeria is the highest ranked at 40, followed by South Africa at 54, Morocco at 72 and Zambia at 77. However, there is strong hope that with the newly expanded tournament, an African team can rise to the occasion and cause enough upsets to make it to the knockout rounds of the tournament.
