Morphometric and functional analysis of germ cells in histological micropreparations and ejaculate of male rats at the control group on the 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th days of alcoholization at experimental animals was performed. Prolonged use of ethanol has been shown to reduce resistance to spermatogenic epithelial cells, which are at different stages of development, manifested by inhibition of spermatogenesis with a decrease in sperm count and spermatids, and in ejaculate - a decrease in sperm concentration with increasing number of spermatozoa.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
