Abstract:
Ten subjects were treated orally with acitretin (Ro 10-1670) over a period of 3 months. Before, during and after treatment, semen and blood analyses were performed to investigate drug-induced impairment of spermatogenesis and the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. Our study concludes that acitretin in therapeutically effective doses does not influence spermatogenesis, sperm morphology, sperm motility and the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis.
