title: A rapidly reversible effect of a single dose of phenoxybenzamine on the fertility of male rats.
abstract: Male Sprague-Dawley rats received a single subcutaneous injection of phenoxybenzamine and each was allowed to mate with an untreated receptive female at 5, 29 or 53 h post-injection. At 5 h the number of males ejaculating was reduced and fertility virtually abolished; at 29 h all males ejaculated, but fertility was still low; at 53 h the performance of the males was normal.
