The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of noise stress on serum levels of LH, FSH and testosterone in male rats. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 28 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (7 rats in each group) including control, and groups exposed to noise stress for 1, 3 and 6h/day. After 8 weeks, blood samples were obtained using the cardiac puncture method and serum levels of LH, FSH and testosterone were measured by the enzyme-linked fluorescent assay. Results: Serum levels of LH and FSH were significantly decreased in all groups exposed to noise stress compared to the control group (P %> http://feyz.kaums.ac.ir/article-1-2517-en.pdf %P 24-29 %& 24 %! %9 Research %L A-10-176-1174 %+ Iranian Blood Transfusion Organization %G eng %@ 1029-7855 %[ 2015
