    Author: Kasinathan S, Veeraraghavan K, Ramakrishnan S.
    Journal: Acta Morphol Hung; 1987; 35(3-4):183-7. PubMed ID: 3137781.
    Abstract:
    A single subcutaneous injection of 0.5 mg cadmium chloride in Amphibian Ringer solution caused a significant decrease in secondary spermatogonial and primary spermatocytic stages in the semineferous tubules of frogs in 7 days. B3 cells of adenohypophysis and the activities of delta 5-3 beta-hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase and 17 beta-dehydrogenase in the Leydig cells were significantly increased in the same period. There were no significant changes in 3 days.
