Abstract

The effect of chronic dermal exposure of cypermethrin on the testicular tissue in Wistar rats
(n=18) was studied. Multiple small to large vacuolation and necrosis in the epithelial lining of seminiferous
tubules, eosinophilic secretions in interstitium and presence of single or multiple giant cell in the
lumen of tubules were seen. The changes were found to be exposure dependant. These observations
suggest that chronic dermal exposure of cypermethrin cause degenerative changes in seminiferous
tubules of rat testes.
