The effect of environmental contaminants on testicular function
TL;DR: The effects of some of the more commonly used environmental contaminants on testicular function through the induction of oxidative stress and apoptosis are discussed.

Effect of nickel sulfate on testicular steroidogenesis in rats during protein restriction.
Kusal K Das,Shakuntala Dasgupta +1 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that nickel sulfate affects the steroidogenic enzymes, causing alteration in the formation of testosterone in both dietary groups, which was manifested in the elevated cholesterol and ascorbic acid level with decreased activities of steroidogenic enzyme in adult rats testes, but these alterations were reversible in both groups of animals fed normal protein diets and protein-restricted diets.

TL;DR: The results suggest that prenatal exposure to OCPs disrupt reproductive hormones of fetuses in utero among boys, even at relatively low levels.

Quinalphos-induced suppression of spermatogenesis, plasma gonadotrophins, testicular testosterone production, and secretion in adult rats.
A. Ray,S. Chatterjee,S. Chatterjee,Santu Ghosh,Santu Ghosh,K. Bhattacharya,K. Bhattacharya,A. Pakrashi,A. Pakrashi,C. Deb,C. Deb +10 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that quinalphos may have a suppressive influence on gonadotrophin release but its direct detrimental action at the level of the testes may also be responsible for the observed changes in spermatogenesis and in testicular testosterone production in rats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Suppressive effect of quinalphos on the activity of accessory sex glands and plasma concentrations of gonadotrophins and testosterone in rats.
TL;DR: It is suggested that quinalphos may exert a suppressive effect on the functional activity of accessory sex glands by decreasing testicular testosterone production following inhibition of pituitary gonadotrophins release.

Infertility in male pesticide workers
TL;DR: A number of cases of infertility were discovered among men working in a California pesticide factory, and the suspected cause was exposure to the chemical 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane (D.B.C.P).
