As part of a collaborative project to determine optimal administration period and parameters to detect compound effects on male fertility in the rat, adult male rats were administered cyclophosphamide daily at 5, 10, 20 and 40 mg/kg for 2 weeks, or at 2.5, 5 and 10 mg/kg for 4 or 9 weeks. After the pre-pairing administration period, each male was paired with an untreated female. After mating, testes and epididymides were removed and examined for organ weights, sperm head counts, sperm morphology and histopathology. Mated females were caesarean-sectioned on Day 13 of gestation. Although atrophy of epithelia in the cauda epididymides and decreases of spermatogenic cells in the testes were observed in the higher dose groups in the 2w study, no other effects on the male reproductive system were noted in any of the studies. There were clear effects on pregnancy outcome; implantation efficiency was decreased in the highest dosage groups and postimplantation losses increased in all the dosage groups in all studies. These results suggest that a fertility study with females is needed particularly in the case of mutagenic agents, together with a detailed histopathological evaluation for reliable detection of toxicity on the male reproductive system.
