Summary.
A single local injection of ferrous sulphate or ferric chloride causes total destruction of the testis of adult rhesus monkeys. Histochemically, the injected iron is found to be localized in the tunica propria of the tubules and in the interstitium; it accumulates in the mitochondrial and the supernatant fractions almost in equal amounts. It seems that iron causes a generalized damage to the testis through properties common to other heavy metallic ions.
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.
