Fertility regulation in male rats and hamsters with alkylating agents. 1980

G R Howe, and R Steward

A single intratesticular injection of TEPA or Thio-TEPA induced a period of infertility lasting 1-2 months. Restoration of fertility was characterized by a reduction of the litter size resulting from the first inpregnation post-treatment. There was no evidence of tissue pathogenesis 6-12 months after treatment.
