Abstract

Soy products are used in human diet and in food additives because of their beneficial effects in menopause and their potential protective effects in cancer and other diseases. Nevertheless, genistein and other phytoestrogens contained in soy may disrupt the endocrine system by modulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, and thus they may influence spermatogenesis and reproduction. The objective of this study was to investigate the adverse effects of chronic soy diet on the histologic characteristics of the reproductive organs in adult male rats.
