Alteration of the White Rat Male Seminal Fluid Parameters at Different Types of Experimental Stress

Aim of investigation is a study of the seminal fluid qualitative and quantitative values at the different models of experimental stress in the white rat males.

Materials and Methods. The work is made on 69 mature white breedless rat males with a mass of 250—300 g. The seminal fluid quantitative and qualitative parameters of the white rat males (a general number of spermatozoa and their mobility) at different types of experimental stress were investigated at models of acute and chronic immobilization stress and a cold stress as well.

Results. A significant decrease of values at an acute immobilization stress is revealed, whereas a moderate cold effect has lead to the ejaculate parameter improvement. The received data permits to conclude, that a degree of the seminal fluid parameter alterations depends on a stress effect intensity and duration, and the ejaculate quantitative and qualitative parameters can serve as a trustworthy criterion of adaptation and deadaptation processes in the organism under the stressor factor influence.
