A Stereological Analysis of the Response of Spermatogenesis to an Acute Inflammatory Episode in Adult Rats
14 Dec 2006
Abstract excerpt
Male fertility is inhibited by inflammatory disease, but the mechanisms responsible are poorly defined. The effects of acute systemic inflammation induced by a single IP injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on spermatogenic function in adult male rats were investigated using detailed stereological analysis.
