Summary

Excess of vitamin A induces decrease of neutral phospholipase A1 and A2 activity in rat testes homogenates on the 4th day, and increase of β-galactosidase activity on the 8th day of treatment. It is suggested that phospholipase A activity decrease is of great importance in development of testicular disorders, caused by disbalance of vitamin A.
