Title:
Testicular respnses of rats and dogs to cyclohexylamine overdosage
Author:
James RW, Heywood R, Crook D
Year:
1981
Bibliographic source:
Food Cosmet. Toxicol. 19, 291-296

Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Application of
200 mg/kg bw/day to 15 male rats by gavage for 9 weeks (15 served as controls)
250 mg/kg bw/day to 4 male dogs by gavage
to examine the effects of massive doses on pituitary-testicular hormones, semen characteristics and quantitiave assessment of spermatogenesis. Subsequently some of these animals were maintained undosed for 13 weeks to assess recovery
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of method:
in vivo

Observed effects

Rats:
decreased body weight gain and food intake;
motor activity decreased
testicular and seminal vesicles weights were lowered
increased FSH and decreased testosterone concentrations in sera;
decreased spermatogenesis (pachytene spermatocytes, early and late spermatids);
1/15 rats showed bilateral testicular atrophy
dogs:
vomiting, loose feces, motor activity decreased,
the loss of body weight during treatment was completely reversed during the recovery period;
food intake decreased
pachytene spermatocyes , early and late spermatids decreased
the effects on sperm morphology and the reduction of spermatogenesis were also reversible
