Androgenic deficiency in male rats treated with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin.

Abstract:

:Effects of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) on the male reproductive system were investigated. Sexually mature (290 g) Sprague-Dawley rats were given single oral doses of TCDD sufficient to cause varying degrees of hypophagia and impaired body weight gain. The largest doses decreased plasma testosterone and dihydrotestosterone concentrations by 90 and 75%, respectively, from ad libitum-fed control values, while decreasing seminal vesicle and ventral prostate weights by 68 and 48%. On Day 7, the approximate ED50 for these responses was 15 micrograms TCDD/kg, a nonlethal dose. Reductions in caput epididymis and testis weights were also observed. The androgenic deficiency was seen as early as 2 days after dosing and persisted for at least 12 days. Based on data from pair-fed control rats, only about half the decreases in accessory sex organ weights and in plasma androgen concentrations could be accounted for by TCDD-induced hypophagia or body weight loss. These signs of androgenic deficiency were not the result of stress (based in part on plasma corticosterone assays), nor could they be accounted for by the known effects of TCDD on steroid metabolism. While the TCDD-induced depression in plasma testosterone concentrations appears to be the primary event observed, the mechanism by which testosterone concentrations were decreased remains unknown. The androgenic deficiency may account for the male reproductive pathology and dysfunction in animals treated with overtly toxic doses of TCDD.
