Repeated oral doses of di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) to male rats caused a decrease in testicular fructose and glucose and a sloughing of the germ cells on the first day of treatment. On day 2, more severe sloughing was seen and was accompanied by decreases in testicular iron and zinc levels and increa

This study reports changes in levels of ferritin, haemoglobin and transferrin in the bone marrow, liver and spleen as an attempt to determine the causes of testicular iron depletion. A single oral dose of di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) to male rats caused a sloughing of the germ cells (at 6 h) prior to
## Abstract A single oral dose of diβ__n__βbutyl phthalate (DBP) to male rats caused a sloughing of the germ cells at 6 h, with more severe sloughing at 24 and 48 h. DBP is metabolized to monoβ__n__βbutyl phthalate (MBP), which is transported through the bloodβtubular barrier into the seminiferous
A single oral dose of di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) to male rats caused a sloughing of the germ cells at 6 h both with a decrease in the activity of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) in the Sertoli cells and in the Sertoli-germ connection and with an increase in the activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)
