Zusammenfassung:Male infertility is adversely affected by tobacco cigarette smoking. Herein, the effects of prenatal waterpipe tobacco smoke (WTS) exposure on reproductive hormones and oxidative stress of adult offspring rats were evaluated. Pregnant rats received either fresh air or mainstream WTS (2 hr daily). Pregnancy outcomes, circulatory levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and prolactin, testicular levels of oestrogen, testosterone and oxidative stress biomarkers [catalase, superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS)] were assessed in their adult male offspring rats. Prenatal WTS exposure reduced the number of born offspring, female to pups ratio and birthweight (p
