BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: @entity3296 has become an endemic problem worldwide. @entity1388 has its effect on various organs, including the reproductive system, although there are controversial reports over it. Thus, the present study was designed to study the effect of @entity3163 ( @entity7034 ) exposure for different durations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 30 healthy @entity95 were divided into three equal groups. Group I was fed on a standard diet for 30 days, Group II was fed on @entity3163 (20 mg/kg body weight) for 30 days and Group III was fed on @entity3163 (20 mg/kg body weight) for 60 days. Sperm count, motility, progressive motility and weight of @entity1062 and epididymis were measured and compared with the control group. RESULTS: We observed that in the group exposed to @entity7034 for 30 days (Group II), there was a significant decrease in all the parameters except the testicular weight and in the group on exposure of 60 days (Group III), there was a significant decrease in all the parameters when compared with the control group (Group I). On applying the Tukey post-hoc test between Groups II and III, we observed that there was a significant decrease in the sperm count while the other parameters showed a non-significant decrease. Testicular histology was confirmatory for the above findings. CONCLUSION: The present study demonstrates that @entity1388 hampers the reproductive functions of male @entity95 and is proportional to the duration of @entity1388 exposure.
