  • The effect of ccocaine on reproductive system were studied in male ICR mice. daily injection of cocaine HCL (10, and 40 mg/kg s.c for 15 days) disrupted epididymal sperm levels and testicular morphology. These disruptions were manifested in a decreased number of sperum, an increased number of dead sperm as compared with control vehicle, and wre evidenced by vacuolations, multinucleated giant cell formations and coagulation necrosis in the testicular seminiferous tubules. Responses in the current study were trended in dose dependent pattem. These results suggest that thronic cocaine intoxication can perturb on male reproductive organ functioning.
