The effects of cannabidiol on male reproductive system: A literature review

It is possible to conclude that CBD has negative effects on the reproductive system of males from the studies identified, however, knowledge is still limited, and additional research is required to elucidate fully the mechanisms of action, as well as the reversibility of CBD effects onThe reproductive system.

The endocannabinoid system and pivotal role of the CB2 receptor in mouse spermatogenesis

The data indicate that male mouse germ cells possess an active and complete ECS, which is modulated during meiosis, and suggest the presence of an autocrine endocannabinoid signal during spermatogenesis, and play a pivotal role in promoting the meiotic progression of germ cells by activating CB2 receptors.

Chronic delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol exposure impacts testicular volume and male reproductive health in rhesus macaques

To determine the dose-dependent effect of contemporary delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) exposure on male testes and reproductive health in a non-human primate model (NHP), a research animal study finds adverse impact on male reproductive health.

Influence of cannabinoids on somatic cells in vivo.

In this limited study of mitotic cells the incidence of metaphase aberrations in cannabinoid-treated animals was 5-7 times greater than in controls; the number of micronuclei was affected by THC dosage, but not by frequency of exposure.

Delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol increase plasma testosterone concentrations in mice.

Oral administration of delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol had a biphasic effect on plasma testosterone concentrations in male mice, causing rapid sustained increases at low doses and subsequent decreases at higher doses, suggesting this cannabinoid may interact with gonadotropin and directly influence testicular steroidogenesis in vivo.
