Effects of HS supplementation on sperm quality and FSH, LH, and testosterone levels in HFD-fed mice. The values are presented as the means ± SDs. n = 8 per group (sperm quality); n = 5 per group (FSH, LH and testosterone). *p < 0.05. FSH = follicle-stimulating hormone; HFD = high-fat diet; HS = Hirsutella sinensis; LH = luteinizing hormone; NCD = standard chow diet.
