متن کاملEffects of an Endocrine Disruptor on Male Reproductive Organs
A 5-day Hershberger assay, a 20-day pubertal male assay, a one-month oral administration study and a reproductive toxicity study were carried out using an antiandrogenic chemical, flutamide (FL). The effects of FL were as follows: weight decrease in male reproductive organs such as the prostate and seminal vesicles were observed at ≥0.6 mg/kg/day as the most sensitive parameter in the Hershberg...
