Özet

The testicular thermoregulation is maintained by a complex anatomical structures and physiological phenomena including convection, conduction, radiation and evaporation. The testicular temperature variation has a deleterious outcome on the reproductive performance of male reproductive system, though, duration and intensity of the insult is the pivot point. By regulating the altered thermal offense, the reproductive performance can be improved, however, with a consistent increase in the global temperature, there is a need of extensive investigations to undermine the thermoregulatory mechanism, its performance, anatomical and physiological adaptations, in the upcoming hot and humid environment.
