title: Role of stress in male fertility.
abstract: Specific or non-specific noxious agents induce several disorders in body systems. In the following series some of those agents are associated with disturbances in the pituitary-testis-axis. Testicular responses which represent an adaptive mechanism to the stress may be associated with various syndromes of unexplained infertility.
