Research Abstract

Lithium carbonate is used widely bipolar depression and depression as a mood stabilizer in the psychiatric area. Lithium has a very important role in functional regulation of the endocrine and thyroid in vivo. However, the over state of the lithium is spasm of muscle, caused kidney damage and failure to thrive. Recently, it was reported that long-term administration of lithium carbonate was has induced lesion of testicular function in experimental animals after sexual maturity. However, it have never been reported that the administration of lithium carbonate before sexual maturity was affected the development and function of the testes. In this study, it investigate the effect on the development and function of the testes by administrated of lithium carbonate before sexual maturity.
