Mercury (Hg), a highly toxic environmental pollutant, which hazards for human health, including to reproductive system, fertility and pregnancy outcome. Research has shown that Hg could induce impairments in the reproductive function due to cellular deformation of the Leydig cells and the seminiferous tubules, testicular degeneration and degenerative atresia of primordial and primary follicles as well as diminishes the steroidogenesis and synthesis of sex hormones.
