Popis: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) were one of the most commonly used drugs in daily life. The adverse effects of long-term use of PPIs have aroused widespread controversy. It was of great significance to explore the molecular mechanism of sperm abnormality caused by PPIs. The PPI group was given omeprazole by gavage for 28 days. After the omeprazole intervention, the caudal epididymis was dissected to obtain sperms, and the sperm was counted through the microscope, as the acrosomal integrity was observed through PNA-FITC staining. The expression of aquaporins were detected by immunofluorescence and western blot in the testis, epididymis and spermatozoa. The liver cytochrome enzyme was evaluated by immunohistochemistry and western blot. We detected the serum estrogen level by ELISA, and the level of alanine transaminase (ALT) were detected through microplate method. The sperm count in PPI group was less than control group (p
