Testicular blood flow and peripheral testosterone levels were measured in sodium pentobarbitone anesthetized adult rats within 3 h of exposure to air at 6 ATA for 24 h. The animals appeared clinically healthy and showed no signs of dehydration. The treated rats showed a small but significant reduction in arterial blood pressure, and blood flow to the testis, epididymis, ventral prostate, and kidneys was also reduced. Calculations of regional vascular resistance revealed a vasoconstriction in all organs studied. The plasma testosterone concentrations were also significantly reduced after hyperbaric exposure. It is suggested that this may be due partly to the reduction in testicular perfusion.
在戊巴比妥钠麻醉的成年大鼠暴露于6个绝对大气压的空气24小时后的3小时内，测量其睾丸血流量和外周睾酮水平。这些动物临床健康，未出现脱水迹象。接受处理的大鼠动脉血压有小幅但显著的降低，睾丸、附睾、腹侧前列腺和肾脏的血流量也减少。区域血管阻力的计算显示，所有研究器官均出现血管收缩。高压暴露后血浆睾酮浓度也显著降低。据推测，这可能部分归因于睾丸灌注的减少。
