Popis: The influence of 30-day application of phytoestrogens compound to postpubertal male and female rats on the level of sexual hormones, gametes maturation and fertilization capacity was experimentally studied. Long-term phytoestrogenes supplies into animal’s organism bring out substantial changes in the level of sexual hormones. In females different estradiol contents are levelled at the estrus-diestrus stages that is typical for intact females. In males there was a considerable increase of estradiol, in a lesser degree — testosterone. Hence, the testosterone-esrtadiol ratio is altered. Morphological structural changes in male and female gametes, decreased spermatozoa motility, impaired embryonic implantation, a high rate of embryonic mortality are observed.
