Abstract
Male mice of the BALB/C+ strain were given testicular irradiation (300r) and during 8 weeks mated with virgin females, which were exchanged for new virgins twice a week. Seventeen days later, the females were dissected and the number of corpora lutea and the living and dead embryos recorded. Fertility decreased with time after irradiation and was lowest after 6 weeks. Preimplantation loss was at a maximum 4,5 and 6 weeks after treatment. It is conceivable that preimplantation loss is due to a loss of fertilizing capacity of the sperm irradiated at the spermatocyte stage. The postimplantation loss showed that the hypersensitivity period affects the spermatids at all stages.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
