In the literature

Furthermore, we observed a positive trend between in utero PFOA exposure and LH and FSH levels in adult men ( Appasamy et al. 2007 ; de Kretser 1979 ; de Kretser et al. 1989 ; Gordetsky et al. 2012 ; Tuttelmann et al. 2009 ); this result supports the general notion that high gonadotrophin concentrations are expected to be associated with low sperm concentration and total sperm count, and corresponds with our finding that men in the high PFOA tertile had a tendency toward lower sperm concentration and total sperm count compared with men in the low tertile.
