Melatonin ameliorates testicular damages induced by nicotine in mice
Objective(s): Nicotine as a toxic substance leads to impairment of the reproductive system function. The aim of this study was to evaluate effects of melatonin on testicular alterations, sperm nuclear integrity, and epididymal sperm parameters in mice treated with nicotine.Materials and Methods: Male mice were divided into four groups. Group A received the vehicle, group B received nicotine 0.1...
متن کاملProtection of alloxan monohydrate-induced testicular toxicity by Gundelia tournefortii aerial parts aqueous extract in male mice.
ABSTRACT For a long period, ethno medicinal plants have been a valuable source of natural products for maintaining human health, especially in the last decade, with more intensive studies for natural therapies. The use of ethno medicinal plant for pharmaceutical purposes has gradually increased in Iran. Gundelia tournefortii has been used as an antibacterial, anti-fungal, antipyretic, anti-in...
متن کاملProtective Effect of N-Acetyl Cysteine on Chlorpyrifos-Induced Testicular Toxicity in Mice
Objective Chlorpyrifos (CPF), an organophosphate pesticide, is widely used in farms in order to preserve crops and fruits. Previous studies have shown that CPF exposure might cause chronic toxicity in male genital system. The present study investigated the protective effect of N- Acetyl Cysteine (NAC), a potent antioxidant against toxicity effect of CPF in male mice. MaterialsAndMethods in an e...
متن کاملDetection Of Genotoxicity Induced By Heavy Metal Ions And Gamma Radiation Using Micronucleus Assay In Mice: Pathological Evaluation
Micronuclei (MN) test is used as markers of radiosensitivity or chemosensitivity. In present study, it was investigated the frequency of MN in erythrocytes and body weight gain in 80 Mus musculus var. albinos exposed to 10 Gy gamma (γ) radiation and heavy metal ions. For this aim, it was used MN assay as an indicator of genotoxicity induced by γ–radiation and heavy metal toxication. The animals...
متن کاملProtective Effect of Vitamin C against Carbofuran-Induced Testicular Toxicity in Albino Mice
The effect of the carbamate insecticide "carbofuran" on testes of male albino mice and the possible protective role of vitamin C against the insecticide toxicity was assessed. Treating mice with carbofuran for 8 weeks induced a significant decrease in the diameters and germinal epithelial heights of the seminiferous tubules. The histological evidence showed inhibition of spermatogenesis. There ...
