Abstract :
World health organization estimates a global
infertility prevalent rate of 10-15%. Male factor
constitute about 40-50% of infertility cases. Exposure to
environmental pollutants such as di-(2-ethylhexyl)
phthalate (DEHP) adversely affects reproductive system
tissue differentiation and functions, thereby potentiating
male infertility. This study was designed to investigate the
impact of oxidative stress induced by DEHP on some
semen parameters, as well as serum androgen
concentration in adult Wistar rats.
Keywords :
Infertility, DI-(2-Ethylhexyl) Phthalate, Oxidative Stress, Semen Quality.
