| Abstract: | The synthetic androgen mesterolone given at 1–5 mg/kg daily in divided doses significantly increased the total sperm output of normal dogs. A dose of 3-0 mg/kg daily in divided doses significantly improved sperm morphology of an oligoasthenoteratozoospermic dog. The effects upon plasma testosterone concentration were not conclusive. |
