Abstract: Objective: To assess the state of male reproductive functions of man nad domestic and wild mammals living in areas with different levels of contamination.
1. We conducted comparative studies of the effect of ionizing radiation on the reproductive function of men and male domestic and wild mammals under the same conditions of radioactive contamination of the natural environment. 2. Our aim was to find out distinctive features and general regularities of the state of the reproductive function of wild and domestic mammals before and after the accident. 3. We studied the morphological status of the seminiferous tubules of the human male reproductive glands, and testes of wild and domestic mammals in areas with different levels of contamination. 4. To find out absorbed amount of radioactive cesium-137 in the gonads of human males, males of wild and domestic animals in areas with different levels of contamination. 5. We conducted a comprehensive and dynamic analysis to find out the adaptive capabilities of reproductive function in mammals, under various conditions of their habitat in contaminated territories.
