Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

No adverse, substance-related effects on the reproductive organs were observed. Changes in individual hormone parameters and increased epididymal sperm counts were evaluated by the authors as unclear or as not assignable due to the high variability of the data and the relatively low number of animals/group and sex.
