Sperm quality in men is not only determined by the condition of the reproductive system, but also influenced by bone health. If you want to have sperm quality, make sure the framework of the body is always maintained his health.

A study at Columbia University showed that the healthy bone to produce more osteocalcin, a protein that make up the bones and teeth. Protein content is what will affect the fertility of male reproductive system.

In that study, men whose bones are not many produce osteocalcin tend to be less potent difficult to fertilize their partner. Conversely, if osteocalcin produced in the bone more and more, the quality of male sperm would increase so that more potent.

When investigated further, osteocalcin was associated with the production of the male sex hormone testosterone. High levels of osteocalcin which trigger the production of more testosterone, so men are capable of producing higher quality sperm.

The findings are then followed up with an experiment on male rats. When male rats were injected ostgeocalcin, testosterone production increases, which produced more sperm quality, and certainly more potent to inseminate female mice.

"The relationship between bone health with the reproductive system were observed only in men. We did not find similar effects in women and female rats," said the researcher, as quoted by Gerard Karsenty of Sify.com, Monday (02/21/2011).

This finding is quite interesting because the relationship between the bone with the reproductive system previously only focused on the function of the gonad gland, the gland that regulates male and female genitalia. The higher activity of the gonad gland, the more bone cells produced by the body.
