July 18/Crawley, WA, Australia/University of Western Australia -- Researchers at The University of Western Australia and Monash University have discovered dietary antioxidants can help maintain male fertility.
Dr. Maria Almbro and Winthrop Professor Leigh Simmons, from UWA's Centre for Evolutionary Biology, and Dr Damian Dowling, from Monash University's School of Biological Sciences, studied crickets and found that a combination of antioxidants provided the best weapon to boost the health of the male ejaculate. The study was published in the journal Ecology Letters.
