Abstract


Hypogonadism and male infertility associated with congenital hypothyroidism are two important reproductive health problems. Studies emanated from our laboratory and a few others have established thyroid hormone as an important regulator of testicular development, growth, structure and function. Existing literature are centering around the effect of neonatal, prepuberal and puberal onset hypothyroidism on the testis of adult rats.
