Effect of in vivo administration of 5α reductase inhibitors on epididymal function

Progesterone, epitestosterone (4-androstene-17 α-o1-3-one, EpiT) and 4- androstene-3-one-17β-carboxylic acid (COOH), three known in vitro inhibitors of 5α reductase, were injected daily for 30 days into male rats to study their effect on some parameters of epididymal function. Progesterone at a dose...

Progesterone at a dose of 750 and 2000 μg/day decreased fertility by 59% and 50%, respectively. EpiT at a dose of 1 500 μg/day decreased fertility by 74%. These treatments did not change the sperm counts in the cauda epididynis. epididymis. with COOH did not decrease fertility. Progesterone at 750 and 2 000 μg/day and EpiT at 750 μg/day decreased the weight of the epididymis, prostate and seminal vesicles. None of the compounds tested produced variations in body weight or in the weight of liver and testis. The 5α reductase activity of epididymis, testis and liver was diminished by progesterone treatment, while EpiT decreased only that of testis and liver.
