Background and aims Today, it has been shown that diabetes mellitus (DM) can affect male fertility. Glucose metabolism is a vital process in spermatogenesis that is impacted by diabetes condition. But the mechanisms by which DM causes male infertility are not wholly clarified. The aim of this review is to provide brief information about the influence of hyperglycemia on male fertility and specific emphasis on the molecular signaling pathway that is involved. Methods Broad literature search in the electronic database “Pubmed”, “Google Scholar”, the website of “World Health Organization” (WHO) and Control Disease and Prevention (CDC) took place. There was no time restriction. A key criterion for the selection of articles was English and language. Finally, one hundred thirty seven articles were included in the review. Results Diabetes mellitus affects many signaling pathways that involved in the spermatogenesis. It seems that increased ROS and oxidative stress in the diabetes is the beginning of all fertility problems and affects all of involved signaling pathways in the spermatogenesis. Conclusions It seems that there was strong interconnected between oxidative stress and all of involved signaling pathways in the reproductive problems in diabetes. So, approaches that diminish oxidative stress in the testis can be effective in improving diabetes related infertility complications.
