[Effect of benzimidazole derivative with hypoglycemic activity on reproduction processes in females rats].

Toxicological experiments showed that the new benzimidazole derivative with hypoglycemic action--diabenol--influences the sexual activity and processes of female fertilization. The estrous cycle, sexual activity and quality of fertilization were activated at females upon the administration of diabenol in a therapeutic dose of 5 mg/kg. It is established that the drug administration in a toxic dose of 160 mg/kg suppresses the sexual activity and, at the same time, does not affect the estrous cycle and quality of fertilization in females.
