Summary.
When 5-thio-d-glucose was fed to male mice at daily dose levels greater than 30 mg/kg sperm development was completely inhibited within 3 weeks and remained so without impairment of libido for the experimental period of 7 weeks. Removal of this substance from the diet resulted in a resumption of sperm development and fertility within 5 to 8 weeks. Normal litters were sired by males which had recovered after this treatment.
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.
