A Review on Effect of Para-nonylphenol on Male Reproductive System

چکیده مقاله

Para-nonylphenol is known as a toxin and an environmental pollutant that has adverse effects on the reproductive system of laboratory animals. In this review, we focus on recent studies on the effect of this pollutant on the reproductive system including testicular tissue, sperm parameters and endocrine system disorders. The reproductive system is one of the most important and extremely sensitive organs of the body that is vulnerable to oxidative stress caused by pollutants. By searching in the scientific databases of PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, Springer and Web of Science related articles were extracted. As a result, all observations have confirmed that Para-nonylphenol can cause multiple damages to the male reproductive system.
