Autophagy is a highly controlled cellular mechanism that maintains cellular homeostasis by degrading and recycling cellular components. In recent years, there has been a greater concentration on understanding the role of autophagy in the male reproductive system. This review addresses the potential importance of autophagy in many aspects of male reproductive physiology, such as spermatogenesis, sperm maturation, and testicular function. The role of autophagy in male fertility, sperm quality, and response to environmental stressors is explored. Insights into the molecular mechanisms driving autophagy in male reproductive cells cover the groundwork for future research targeted at understanding the complex relationship between autophagy and male reproductive health.
