Gestational exposure to high doses of atrazine delayed male development post-partum. The NOAEL in male offspring following perinatal exposure of the dam from PND 1-4 was \u2265 25\u00a0mg\/kg\/day. The NOAEL for an increase in prostate inflammation on PND 120 was 12.5\u00a0mg\/kg\/day. Exposure of peripubertal males to atrazine reduced serum and intratesticular testosterone levels, decreased gonadal and prostate gland weights, and decreased sperm count and motility. The NOAELs were approximately 25\u00a0mg\/kg. Increased plasma estrone and estradiol levels at atrazine doses of 50\u2013200\u00a0mg\/kg\/day were associated with elevated aromatase expression and impaired fluid absorption in the efferent ductules of the testes. Oxidative stress, detected\n                    <jats:italic>in vivo<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic>\n                    at high atrazine doses, was associated with reduced testosterone levels, increased cytokine activity, and inflammation. The NOAEL for these effects was 25\u00a0mg\/kg\/day. Lifetime doses up to 25\u00a0mg\/kg\/day of atrazine did not result in an elevated incidence of prostate or testicular cancer in rodents. An increased incidence of interstitial cell tumors in male rats (53\u00a0mg\/kg\/day) was not significant after adjusting for the increased survival. Finally, epidemiological studies did not provide any consistent evidence of a causal association between atrazine exposure and testicular or prostate cancer in men.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/ftox.2025.1702389","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,11]],"date-time":"2026-03-11T02:48:26Z","timestamp":1773197306000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Review of the effect of atrazine on the HPG axes and steroidogenic pathways in males: relevance for testicular and prostate cancer"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Ralph L.","family":"Cooper","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Quality Scientific Solutions, LLC","place":["Waynesboro, VA, United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James W.","family":"Simpkins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neuroscience, West Virginia University","place":["Morgantown, WV, United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Charles","family":"Breckenridge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Quality Scientific Solutions, LLC","place":["Waynesboro, VA, United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"874","DOI":"10.1007\/s00244-009-9371-2","article-title":"Changes in sperm characteristics and induction of oxidative stress in the testis and epididymis of experimental rats by a herbicide, atrazine","volume":"58","author":"Abarikwu","year":"2010","journal-title":"Arch.
