Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.According to researchers at University of California at San Francisco (UCSF), Hv1, a molecule that activates sperm to swim also regulates intracellular pH levels is the likely missing link to prevent pregnancy and control male infertility.
On February 5, Cell, a peer-reviewed scientific journal, published "Acid Extrusion from Human Spermatozoa Is Mediated by Flagellar Voltage-Gated Proton Channel," this breakthrough study, found new insight into how the male reproductive system functions.
Yuriy Kirichok, PhD, lead researcher for the study at UCSF Department of Physiology, also proposed that these findings explain how marijuana use causes male infertility. Essentially the cannabis raises the pH level in the semen, causing the sperm to swim but without the endurance to make it all the way to the egg.
Conversely caffeine appears to have the opposite effect. According to study from the University of Sao Paolo, Brazil published in 2005 in Sao Paolo Medical Journal, men who drank coffee daily had strong swimming sperm opposed to men that didn't drink coffee.
This new research opens the door to further study and promises innovative approaches to male fertility and perhaps vasectomies.
