Aim To study the effects of
Metformin (MF) on endocrine function of pituitary-
gonad axis in
rats.
Methods The
serum hormone concentration was measured with
radioimmunoassay (RIA) and the morphology of
gonad endocrine cells was observed with
electron microscope. Results MF(135 mg?kg-1?d-1,ig,14 d)decreased
serum T concentration in
male rats and
serum LH concentrations in
female rats significantly(P
