Summary.

Cadmium chloride at a dose level of 0·5 mg/100 g body weight exerted a differential deleterious effect on cryptorchid and contralateral scrotal testes in the same rat. The degenerative changes occurring in the cryptorchid testis 72 hr after cadmium administration were almost comparable to those found after ligation of the spermatic artery for 72 hr and were highly significant compared to those found in the scrotal counterpart.

Reproduction is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.

The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
