Male fertility index

Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-006937

A reproductive toxicity endpoint giving the percentage of mated male rodents that impregnate a female: the number of males siring a pregnancy divided by the number of males paired, times 100. It presumes every paired female can conceive, so a low value points to the male. The matching female fertility index counts pregnant females out of females paired.
