Correlations between sperm parameters and testicular metabolites, in each generation of the study (n = 6 per group in each generation). Correlation factors were obtained by Pearson’s method using SPSS 26 (Armonk, NY, USA). (a) Strong (|r|> 0.4) and significant correlations considering unadjusted two-tailed p < 0.05. (b) Strong (|r|> 0.4) and significant correlations considering FDR-adjusted p < 0.1. Heatmaps were obtained using the software GraphPad Prism 8 (San Diego, CA, USA).
