Conclusions
1. The combined testis and epididymis weight in rats is reduced about half after 50 or more one hour exposures to illuminating gas. The number of spermatozoa is greatly decreased and motility in the few viable sperm is impaired. 2. The hypophyses of gassed male rats become highly basophilic and many vacuolated castrate cells appear. 3. The gonadotropic hormone content of the hypophyses of gassed rats is increased.
