Irradiation

IRRADIATION

  • It produces interference with spermatogenesis by injuring spermatogonia, spermatocytes and spermatids.

The spermatocytes are most sensitive to irradiation while Leydig and Sertoli cells are quite resistant.

  • The amount of irradiation and length of treatment are highly important in the degree of effects produced and the rate of recovery
