The effects of 50 Hz AC electric field of high intensity (100 kV/m) have been studied on the reproductive system of male rats exposed acutely (30 minutes a day) or chronically (8 hours a day) for up to 48 days. Groups of controls were studied simultaneously. Weight of the testicles, sperm viability, number of copulations, pregnancies, foetal implantations and reabsorptions as well as macro and microscopic anatomy have been investigated after mate with unexposed females. For acutely exposed animals, the number of copulations and fertility appeared lower than during chronic exposure. On the contrary, no changes were observed in sperm viability, morphology and in the others parameters under study. During chronic exposure no changes of any of the parameters analyzed occurred. However, in both modes of exposure the weight of the offsprings was about 10% lower than in controls. We conclude that exposure of male animals to extremely high electric field does not cause any damage to the reproductive system.
研究了高强度（100 kV/m）50 Hz交流电场对雄性大鼠生殖系统的影响，这些大鼠急性（每天30分钟）或慢性（每天8小时）暴露长达48天。同时对对照组进行了研究。在与未暴露的雌性大鼠交配后，对睾丸重量、精子活力、交配次数、怀孕情况、胎儿着床和吸收情况以及大体和微观解剖结构进行了调查。对于急性暴露的动物，交配次数和生育能力似乎低于慢性暴露期间。相反，在精子活力、形态以及其他研究参数方面未观察到变化。在慢性暴露期间，所分析的任何参数均未发生变化。然而，在两种暴露方式下，后代的体重均比对照组低约10%。我们得出结论，雄性动物暴露于极高电场不会对生殖系统造成任何损害。
