Abstract | ||
The study was aimed to illustrate the effect of heptachlor on seminiferous tubule and spermatic cells in the testis of mice .Heptachlor 10 mg / kg was given daily by gulping for five weeks. Mice were sacrificed after injected with colchicines in traperitonially , testis were collected after 7,21,36 days to study the effect of heptachlor on histo-testis and improved heptachlor activity not as chemical mutagen but as a tumor promoter by act directly on DNA which reflected on decreasing testicular Leydig cell and spermatogenic deficiencies when comparison with control and vitamin C. | ||
