A German study of 30 healthy men tested whether heated car seats raise the temperature down there to damaging levels. Testicles hang outside of your body because optimal sperm production requires a temperature 1 to 2 °C below the core temperature of 37 °C.
After an hour in the hot seat, participants' scrotal temperatures rose to an average of 37.3 °C, with a maximum temperature in one man of 39.7 °C. It's only a slight increase, but it may be enough to damage the sperm production process, according to Andreas Jung, a researcher at the University of Giessen in Germany.
As per this research, it is know that 1 to 2°C raise in body temperature may not effect sperm production. But, if temperature rises up it will definetly effect on your sperm count(decreases).
A toasty car seat may boost relaxation during your commute, but beware: It could also be frying your sperm.
What else can I help you with?
Why do testes in mammals descend into scrotum?
The production of sperm requires a lower temperature than body temperature (in mammals) therefore it is necessary for the testies to be removed from the general mass of the body.
Can you kill sperms by hot towel wraps?
No, though sperm formation benefit from the lower temperature in the testes, increased temperature will not kill them.
Can the testicular temperature be higher and lower than the body temperature?
Yes the sperms usually want it a bit cooler then the bodyheat. That is why they hang on the outside of your body.
Is the apple ipod touch fourth generation touch feature temperature sensitive?
No, the iPod touch 4th generation or all iPods are not temperature sensitive, it is a group of "touch" sensitive appliances just below the screen.
What changes are enzymes sensitive to?
Enzymes are sensitive to changes in temperature, pH levels, and substrate concentration. These factors can affect the enzyme's shape and ability to function effectively.
Are insects sensitive?
Yes they are sensitive to things like temperature, wet/dry and sound especially from other insects.
What happens to sperms when it's left out for to long?
When sperm is left out for too long, it will eventually die and become nonviable for fertilization. Sperm cells are sensitive to temperature and environmental conditions, so it's important to handle and store them properly if they are intended for reproductive purposes.
Why are eggs larger than sperms?
if sperms were larger than eggs, al the sperms will squash the egg and there will be no baby!!!
What is thermosensitive proteins?
Thermo-sensitive proteins refers to the living organisms that are very sensitive to air temperature outside the narrow range.
What is the temperature sensitive resistor commonly used on vacuum gauges?
Thermistor
What is thermistor diode?
A semiconductor device that is particularly sensitive to changes in temperature, permitting it to serve as an accurate measure of temperature.
Which is more sensitive. temperature scale or celsius scale?
Question is ambiguos, because celsius is a unit meaure of temperature.
