ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Injection of lithium chloride at the dose of 200 micrograms/toad/alternate day for 7, 14 and 21 days caused a significant reduction in the activities of testicular delta 5-3 beta, 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and acid phosphatase enzymes. There was a marked inhibition in spermatogenesis in lithium chloride treated toad for 14 and 21 days of treatment, but 7 days of treatment has no effect.
