Toxic effects of methyl methacrylate monomer on male genital tissues. In vitro study in rats.

Abstract

The data in this study showed that MMA administered at high concentration is associated to seminal vesicle atrophy. These findings let us suggest that this effect could be the result of either a direct effect of MMA on testosterone levels (as shown in our first study), or through its possible action on other organs involved in testosterone metabolism and seminal vesicle trophicity such as the hypophysis.
