Resumen:
The addition of fat to the normal diet of adult male rabbits leads to hypercholesterolemia (HC) with multi organ / systemic consequences and it is associated with seminal and spermatic changes. HC was related to decrease seminal volume and morphological and functional sperm disorders. The first could be attributed to changes in sexual glands physiology. The aim of this study was to analyze prostatic histology and quantify the content of prostatic acid phosphatase in seminal plasma of male rabbits - under different diets - and their testosterone levels. New Zealand White rabbits were fed commercial rabbit pellet (normocholesterolemic rabbits: NCR), plus 14% bovine fat (HCR) or 7% bovine fat plus 7% olive oil (OO) (½HCR + ½OO). In HCR, prostate epithelium height and pro prostate villi length significant decreased (p
