Effects of long-term zearalenone administration on spermatogenesis and serum luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and prolactin values in male rats

Effects of long-term zearalenone administration on spermatogenesis and serum luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and prolactin values in male rats

1995

Body and testis weights, serum luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and prolactin values and volume fractions of Sertoli cells, spermatogonia, early and late primary spermatocytes, and round and long spermatids were evaluated in 70-day-old male rats treated orally with 20 mg of zearalenone/kg of body weight daily for 5 weeks. A significant (P < 0.05) increase in serum prolactin concentration was consistently observed during the 5 weeks of treatment with zearalenone. Significant changes were not observed in any of the other variables evaluated.
