Abstrakt: Characteristics of spermatogenesis, morphometric changes in the Leydig's and Sertoli's cells, and fertility of albino rats exposed to various doses of 2.4-D were investigated. Chronic injection of the herbicide led to transitional sterility against pronounced disorders of spermatogenesis, hyperplasia of sertolicytes and predominance of low-active forms of the Leydig's cells. An assumption concerning possible role of altered gonadostat in genesis of the reproductive disorders is offered.
