The effects of liraglutide on male fertility: a case report

Paula Fontoura et al. Reprod Biomed Online. 2014 Nov.

Abstract

Liraglutide is an agonist of the glucagon-like peptide I receptor, and is commonly recommended as a treatment for obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Adverse effects related to liraglutide include acute pancreatitis and polyarthritis. No studies, however, have reported an adverse effect of liraglutide on male reproduction. This case report shows a deleterious effect of liraglutide on male reproductive function.

Keywords: liraglutide; male infertility; male reproduction; spermatozoa.
