hormone inhibition during mini-puberty and testicular function in male rats

چکیده
conclusions the inhibition of mini-puberty period in male rats was demonstrated to have an effect on their testicular function to some extent. results serum t and lh levels peaked at two hours after birth, while fsh peaked at hour 0, and bilateral testicular weight peaked at four hours after birth. the rats that underwent ether inhalation five minutes after birth had markedly reduced serum hormone levels. the mini-puberty model group revealed visible morphologic alterations in the tests on postnatal day 45. then, on postnatal day 75, the mrna expression level of amh significantly decreased (p < 0.05) in the same group. objectives the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of hormone inhibition during mini-puberty on testicular function in male rats. materials and methods we measured serum testosterone (t), luteinizing hormone (lh) and follicle-stimulating hormone (fsh) levels in male rats at different time points after birth by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) and established a “no mini-puberty” model by ether inhalation. the mrna expression levels of testicular androgen receptor (ar), insulin-like growth factor 3 (insl3), anti-mullerian hormone (amh), and ghrelin were determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction (pcr) assays on postnatal days 45 and 75. testicular tissue biopsies were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (h & e) and the structure, number and maturity of testis cells (including spermatogenic, sertoli, and leydig cells) were observed under microscopy at the same time. background the mini-pubertal period of almost six hours in neonatal male rats is thought to be an important stage in sexual development.

متن کاملInhibition of bufalin on pituitary and testicular function in rats.
The effects of bufalin on the secretion of testosterone and luteinizing hormone (LH) and the accumulation of testicular adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) were studied. Male rats were injected with bufalin, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH), hCG plus bufalin or GnRH plus bufalin via a jugular catheter. Blood samples were collected at several inte...
متن کاملEffects of pantothenic acid on testicular function in male rats.
Pantothenic acid (PaA) is a water-soluble vitamin required to sustain various physiological functions in animals. The physiological roles of PaA on testicular function, in particular, testicular endocrinology and sperm mortility, were investigated in rats. Male rats at 3 weeks of age were fed a PaA-free diet or a 0.0016% PaA diet (control) for 7 weeks. Total body weight, as well as the weights ...
متن کاملOxidative stress, biochemical alterations, and hyperlipidemia in female rats induced by lead chronic toxicity during puberty and post puberty periods
Objective(s):Lead (Pb) is a toxic metal inducing many destructive effects leading to a broad range of physiological, biochemical, and neurological dysfunctions in humans and laboratory animals. Materials and Methods: Here, we investigated the effect of chronic exposure to Pb (50 mg/l) on oxidative stress, hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, and lipid profile of two different age groups of female r...
متن کاملProtective effect of vitamin D on Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), testosterone hormones and testicular tissue changes induced by methotrexate in adult male rats
Background and Aims: Vitamin D has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. The present study aimed to investigate the protective effect of vitamin D on Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), testosterone hormones and testicular tissue changes induced by methotrexate in adult male rats. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 30 adult male Wistar rats wei...
متن کاملThe role of testicular hormones and luteinizing hormone in spatial memory in adult male rats.
Attempts to determine the influence of testicular hormones on learning and memory in males have yielded contradictory results. The present studies examined whether testicular hormones are important for maximal levels of spatial memory in young adult male rats. To minimize any effect of stress, we used the Object Location Task which is a spatial working memory task that does not involve food or ...
