Babies experiencing hypoxia due to sleep apnea tend to develop hypertension in adulthood

Newborn babies who experience low levels of oxygen in their body tissues (hypoxia) due to sleep apnea, for example, tend to develop respiratory problems and hypertension (high blood pressure) in adulthood, and these problems may persist for the rest of their lives.

Obesity strikes below the belt: Study reveals link between obesity and male infertility

The influence of obesity on male fertility is still under debate. In the present investigation, researchers scrutinized semen samples from both obese individuals and those of normal weight. The aim was to explore the relationship between obesity, the length of sperm telomeres, levels of mRNA associated with autophagy, and diverse semen characteristics.
