Abstract:
The spermatotoxic effect of carbaryl in adult and young male rats has been examined. Carbaryl 50 and 100 mg/kg b.wt. Male fed 5 d/week for 60 days, caused dose and age-dependent decline in epididymal sperm count and sperm motility, an increase in sperm with abnormal morphology. The dose of 25 mg/kg/d was a 'No observed effect level' for the indices studied. Young animals in comparison to adults exhibited pronounced spermatotoxic effects.
