Challenging animals with acrylamide induced marked reduction in the androgen level by about 52% compared to the control group. Concurrent administration of TQ or capsaicin to acrylamide-challenged rats resulted in significant increases in serum levels of testosterone amounted to 98% and 91%, respectively compared to acrylamide-treated animals(Table 2) .
