Abstract

To investigate the effect of noise pollution on serum sex hormone levels in rats. Choose 40 Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group (normal), experimental group (further divided into 30, 60 and 80 dB three groups), each group 10 animals, stimulated for 30 min once a day, continually stimulated for consecutive 20 days. On the 21th day of experiment, the serum sex hormone levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The results showed that the serum E2 and FSH levels were increased by 51.68%, 69.28%, 81.28% and 22.76%, 49.43%, 87.64%, respectively, LH and PRL levels were increased by 16.31%, 34.79%, 75.24% and 16.51%, 36.04%, 60.55% compared with the control group; the serum T level was decreased by 9.12%, 20.06%, 68.39%, respectively. The results showed the noise pollution can significantly affect the serum sex hormone levels in rats.
