Effect of cyproterone acetate on the testis and epididymis of the lizard, Psammophilus dorsalis (gray).
The effect of cytproterone acetate (CPA) on the testis and epididymis of the lizard, Psammophilus dorsalis has been studied. Treatment with CPA affects spermatogensis and steroid metabolism in the testis. It also causes regression of the epididymis and a decrease in steroidogenic enzyme activity.
