Hexavalent chromium is an environmental contaminant which may be associated with reproductive abnormalities in male rats. In the present study, we examined the effect of hexavalent chromium on male reproductive function of rats. Male Wistar rats received a daily intraperitoneal injection of potassium dichromate (1 or 2 mg/kg body weight) for fi fteen consecutive days. A decrease in testis weight and an increase in seminal vesicles and prostate weights were demonstrated after chromium treatment. Moreover, a dose-dependent increase in blood and testis chromium levels as well as an increase in FSH and a decrease in LH and testosterone serum levels were detected in treated rats. Histological analysis revealed pronounce
