Abstract:

The present study aimed to illustrate the effect of the immunostimulant, immunex DS and IDS + hepatitis B infection on serum testosterone level in male swiss albino mice. Testosterone level was increased significantly in IDS treated mice and IDS + vaccine treated mice from day 1 to 5 of infection when compared with controls. Viral toxicity led to the abnormal increase and release of testosterone in the blood of all the experimental groups of mice due to improper spermatogenesis.
