摘要
Fungicides are pesticides that specifically inhibit or kill fungi underlying diseases important to man. Understanding mechanisms of fungicide action and toxicity is important because humans and domesticated animals encounter these pesticides through a wide variety of applications. The increasing knowledge of the reproductive toxicity of environmental chemicals has raised public concern. Fungicides disrupt structure and development of testis and epididymis along with decrease in male fertility, including a decline of sperm count, decreased sperm motility parameters and production of oxidative stress. The present article reviews the advances in the studies of male reproductive toxicity of fungicides in experimental animals, discusses the mechanism of male reproductive toxicity of pesticides and raises some problems concerning the evaluation of human reproductive hazards.
