THE TOXIC EFFECT OF 4-NONYLPHENOL ON MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Keywords:
endocrine disruptors, nonylphenol, Sertoli cells, Leydig cells, spermatozoa, toxicityAbstract
Reproductive system influences many environmental toxicants that present the serious risk to the reproduction of human and animals, including hormone-like compounds called endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). The interest about EDCs increased during the last 50 years due to their interference with the development and functioning of the endocrine system in aquatic animals. One of these toxic contaminants is nonylphenol that has the negative impact on the reproductive parameters not only on fish, but also on amphibians and mammals. Nonylphenol can decrease male fertility following a disruption of testicular development, a damage of Sertoli and Leydig cells and a reduction of a count and motility of spermatReproductive system influences many environmental toxicants that present the serious risk to the reproduction of human and animals, including hormone-like compounds called endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs).
