Male subfertility induced by acute scrotal heating affects embryo quality in normal female mice
1 Feb 1998
Abstract excerpt
The aim of this experiment was to design a suitable mouse model for male subfertility in which to study the effect of decreased sperm quality on embryo quality in vivo and in vitro. To achieve male subfertility, testes of adult male mice were immersed in water at either 42 degrees C (heated) or 33 degrees C (controls) during 20 min. Twenty-eight days after treatment, all heat stressed males showed a significant...
