Effect of sodium fluoride at two different doses (10 mg and 20 mg/kg body weight, orally daily for 30 days) was seen on serum testosterone and lipid profiles in the testis of adult albino rats. Testosterone was significantly decreased in 20 mg treated animals and insignificantly decreased in 10 mg treated animals. All the lipid classes were markedly decreased in the testis of fluoride treated animals.

Abstract


Effect of sodium fluoride at two different doses (10 mg and 20 mg/kg body weight, orally daily for 30 days) was seen on serum testosterone and lipid profiles in the testis of adult albino rats. Testosterone was significantly decreased in 20 mg treated animals and insignificantly decreased in 10 mg treated animals. All the lipid classes were markedly decreased in the testis of fluoride treated animals.
