Article Abstract
Obesogens have been identified as a significant factor associated with increasing obesity rates, particularly in developed countries. Substances with obesogenic traits are prevalent in consumer products, including certain pharmaceuticals. Specific classes of pharmaceuticals have been recognized for their ability to induce weight gain, often accompanied by hormonal alterations that can adversely impact male fertility. Indeed, research has supplied evidence underscoring the crucial role of obesogens and therapeutic agents in the normal functioning of the male reproductive system. Notably, sperm count and various semen parameters have been closely linked to a range of environmental and nutritional factors, including chemicals and pharmacological agents exhibiting obesogenic properties. This review aimed to explore studies focused on analyzing male fertility parameters, delving into the intricacies of sperm quality, and elucidating the direct and adverse effects that pharmacological agents may have on these aspects.

Mounting evidence suggests that certain environmental contaminants can influence adipogenesis and function as obesogens, many of which act by activating the key regulator peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ). Synthetic phenolic antioxidants (SPAs) are ubiquitously detected in both environmental matrices and human samples, whereas their potential effects on lipid metabolism and the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unexplored. In this study, we aimed to assess the agonistic effects of SPAs on PPARγ, glucocorticoid receptor (GR), and retinoid X receptor α (RXRα), as well as their adipogenic potential.

Bisphenol M (BPM), a structural analog of bisphenol A (BPA) commonly used in food packaging and consumer plastics, remains incompletely characterized in terms of its obesogenic potential and underlying molecular mechanisms, posing challenges for evidence-based risk assessment. To address this gap, we investigated the obesogenic effects and metabolic impacts of BPM exposure in male BALB/c mice through integrated liver untargeted metabolomics and gut microbiome analysis. Our results showed that BPM exposure significantly increased body fat percentage, enlarged the epididymal white adipose tissue volume, and induced hepatic steatosis.

Background: Micro/nanoplastics (MNPs), as emerging environmental pollutants, are widely present in environments that are essential for human survival. They exist in vast quantities and possess stable properties, making them challenging to manage. Some reports indicated that there is a positive correlation between the production of MNPs and the incidence of obesity.

Fatty acids disorders may lead to insulin resistance, resulting in long-term oxidative stress and inflammatory processes, both mediated by adipose tissue. Either in normal condition or obesogenic status, adipose cells components play an important role in several physiological and metabolic conditions. It has been shown that bioactive compounds can influence the development of obesity and its pathological complications such as insulin resistance.

Nonnutritive sweeteners were introduced on the market over a century ago to displace the calories of added sugars in foods and beverages and, therefore, facilitate weight loss. In spite of their widespread use, obesity has reached epidemic proportions. The present paper addresses this apparent paradox.
