It was shown that silver nanoparticles downregulate reproductive system of male rats. At the same time, activation of the hypothalamic sex-function regulatory center did not result in any stimulatory effect on testes. We suppose that toxicity of silver nanoparticles is due to their direct action on the testicles.
