A Study of Effect of Progesterone on Epididymis in Albino Rats

The aim of present study is to determine the effect of progesterone on the structure of target cells of epididymis normally stimulated by androgens and further correlate the findings in light of previous studies, to draw the significant conclusion. The study showed that the progesterone have intense inhibitory effect on the epididymis. The degenerative histological findings are found in form of reduce number of spermatozoa, debris of cell mass &; reduce epithelial cells height. These changes may have an important role in the anti fertility effect of progesterone.
