Induction of micronucleus and abnormal sperm cells in albino mice exposed to ciprofloxacin
نویسندگان
چکیده
The mammalian in vivo micronucleus and sperm morphology assays are widely used as part of the battery of assays for genotoxicity testing required during the development of new drugs. Genotoxicity data on Ciprofloxacin in mammalian system are very limited and mostly contradictory. This study provides more data by assessing the genotoxic potential of ciprofloxacin using mouse micronucleus and sperm morphology assays. 320μg/ml, 160μg/ml, 80μg/ml, 32μg/ml and 16μg/ml of ciprofloxacin were daily administered intraperitoneally for 5 days, after which the animals were sacrificed for the assays. The results showed a statistically significant (p<0.05) concentration-dependent induction of micronucleus and abnormal sperm morphology in the exposed mice. Result indicates a warning signal to injudicious and indiscriminate use of the drug

The effect of ciprofloxacin on sperm DNA damage, fertility potential and early embryonic development in NMRI mice
Side effects of ciprofloxacin (CPFX), a widely used broad spectrum antibiotic with fluoroquinolone core, have been reported in different organs. In the present study we sought to elucidate the impact of ciprofloxacin on sperm chromatin integrity and sperm DNA damage using Aniline Blue and Acridine Orange technique, respectively. The fertility potential in male mice was also evaluated. NMRI male...

Background: Arsenic as a heavy metal exerts malformation and changes in the reproductive system of men via induction of oxidative stress. We sought to investigate the impact of Vitamin C (Vit C), as a potent antioxidant, on sperm quality and testicular tissue in mice that received sodium arsenite. Methods and materials: NMRI mice were classified into four groups: control, sodium arsenite (7 mg...

Background: Ciprofloxacin was shown to have cytotoxic effects on testicular germ cells. Its mechanism of cytotoxic action is not fully understood. To investigate the possibility of the involvement of an oxidative stress induction in this mechanism, total antioxidant power (TAOP) in the testis was evaluated. Materials and Methods: A number of twenty four mature male NMRI mice were used.The anima...
