Primary Outcome Measures:

Number of spermatozoid and their relation with syndrome metabolic parameters [ Time Frame: Day 0 ]
We will measure the parameters of metabolic syndrome (triglycerides, HDL and LDL cholesterol, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, fasting glucose) and correlate them with the number of spermatozoid .

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Relationship between spermogram and spermocytogram and other metabolic parameters [ Time Frame: Day 0 ]
Relationship between other spermogram/spermocytogram and metabolic markers (biomarkers and anthropometric adiposity and insulin resistance)
Environmental parameters [ Time Frame: Day 0 ]
Evaluation of environmental parameters (physical activity, tobacco consumption, quality of life) by classical questionnaire
Relationship between spermogram and spermocytogram and other metabolic parameters [ Time Frame: Day 0 ]
Relationship between other spermogram/spermocytogram and markers of inflammation
Relationship between spermogram and spermocytogram and other metabolic parameters [ Time Frame: Day 0 ]
Relationship between other spermogram/spermocytogram and markers of oxidative stress (plasma, seminal genetic polymorphisms involved in oxidative stress, genetic analyzes of sperm)
Relationship between spermogram and spermocytogram and other metabolic parameters [ Time Frame: Day 0 ]
Relationship between other spermogram/spermocytogram and hormonal markers
Relationship between spermogram and spermocytogram and other metabolic parameters [ Time Frame: Day 0 ]
Relationship between other spermogram/spermocytogram and innovative settings (studies epigenetic finger length and width of the wrist)

Biospecimen Retention: Samples With DNA

Blood and sperm samples will be collected from all patients BLOOD :Whole blood was collected on dry, heparin or EDTA tubes. After several soft turnings, tubes were centrifuged at 1900g for 10min.Then plasma, serum, buffy coat or red blood cells were taken in microtubes and frozen at -80°C.

SPERM: After liquefaction, total sperm was centrifuged at 600g for 10min. Seminal plasma was collected directly on microtubes and stored at -80°C. After trypsinisation, spermatozoa were fixed in Carnoy solution and stored at -20°C.

DNA was separated from buffy coat using DNA extract kit


Enrollment:	170
Study Start Date:	July 2013
Estimated Study Completion Date:	December 2016
Estimated Primary Completion Date:	October 2016 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Groups/Cohorts	Assigned Interventions
Infertile men Man partner of an infertile couple. Blood sample, sperm sample and clinical examens will be done at the day of the inclusion	Other: Blood sample, sperm sample and clinical examens Blood sample, sperm sample and clinical examens will be done at the day of the inclusion

Detailed Description:

Assessment of sperm parameters and metabolic syndrome relations in men attending a Reproductive Biomedicine centre for an infertility of their couple.

Secondary objectives are to study relationship between sperm parameters and:

adiposity and insulin resistance
inflammation
oxydative stress in blood and semen
hormonal status Innovative parameters will also be assessed to determine the quality of semen (length of fingers, wrist circumference and epigenetics studies)

Eligibility


Ages Eligible for Study:	18 Years to 45 Years (Adult)
Sexes Eligible for Study:	Male
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:	No
Sampling Method:	Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Man consulting for primary or secondary infertility, with or without earlier notion of paternity

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

18 to 45 years-old man
man consulting for primary or secondary infertility, with or without earlier notion of paternity
patient insured with a social security scheme
patient who have had a prior medical consultation
patient who have done informed and written consent to participate in the research study

Exclusion Criteria:

patient with problems understanding French
