Effects of Sertraline on Sperm Motility, Number and Viability and Its Relation to Blood Levels of Testosterone, FSH and LH in Adult Male Mice

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Sertraline on gonad-pituitary cycle (Testosterone, FSH and LH) and reproductive cells in adult male Balb/C mice. Adult male Balb/C mice were divided into the following 5 groups: control group with no treatment, sham group which received solvent, and the experimental groups which received one dose of Sertraline (0.0178 mg/kg) in the first group, two doses of Sertraline (0.0356 mg/kg) in the second group, and three doses of Sertraline (0.0534 mg/kg) in the third group.
