Immobilization is mixed type of stress. It acts as physical and psychological stress. The aim of study was to study effect of immobilization stress on spermatogenesis of mice. The present study was performed on 40 adult male Swiss albino mice, out of which 20 served as control and 20 were exposed to immobilization stress .Experimental mice were immobilized by keeping in white transparent plastic jar with 5 holes for 4 hrs a day for 60 days .Food and water provided ad libitum during period of immobilization stress. After two months of immobilization stress mice of both control and experimental group were sacrificed by giving thiopentone anaeshthesia. Testes were removed and labelled. Histological processing of testis tissues was done. Morphological, histological and histomorphometric study of testes revealed suppression of spermatogenesis.
