This course addresses the significant issue of infertility, highlighting that one in six people globally is affected, with half of the cases attributed to male factors. It discusses the alarming decline in sperm counts observed over the past 40 years and suggests possible causes, such as environmental pollutants, global warming, and obesity. In particular, exposure to these factors during childhood may play a role in the depletion of the Sertoli cell pool, leading to a reduction of sperm count in adulthood. Indeed, the course explores the importance of understanding the physiology of testicular function during childhood, which, although traditionally considered inactive, involves crucial metabolic activity regulated by hormones. Disturbances in this activity can lead to irreversible infertility in adulthood. The course emphasizes that endocrinologists' knowledge of pediatric testicular physiology can play a crucial role in preventing male infertility.
