Abstract

Amitriptyline is one of the first reference tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) with sedative and analgesic properties. This study aimed to investigate the testicular indices that influenced by amitriptyline treatment and examined it by biochemical, histological and Immunohistochemical methods.
