dc.descriptionThe effect (s) of organochloride pesticides on the reproductive system of adult male vertebrates are inconclusively known. In the present study, we investigated the effect (s) of feeding dieldrin spiked diet to adult male rats on the plasma levels of testosterone and luteinizing hormone. We fed either dieldrin free diet or dieldrin spiked diet (5mg or 10mg/kg body weight) for 20 days ad libitum. Dieldrin did not affect body, weight gain and plasma testosterone and LH levels (P> 0.05). In summary our results indicate that dieldrin when administered orally at less than month duration does not decrease the plasma levels of testosterone and LH in male rats
