The Effects of Gasoline Vapor Inhalation on Testes Tissue in Male Rats
نویسنده
چکیده
Gasoline is one of the sources of emissions, which can endanger health if used incorrectly as a matter of respirable. The present study was exerted to evaluate the effects of gasoline vapor inhalation on testes tissue in male rats. In our study male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control, gasoline vapor receiving for 1hour, 2 hours and 3 hours/day. After 10 weeks, testes tissue was examined histologicaly using HE staining method. Data were statistically analyzed and compared between groups using one wayANOVA. The results indicated that seminiferous tubules were deformed in animals exposed to gasoline vapor compared to control animals. The number of spermatozoon and spermatognia was also lower in rats exposed to gasoline vapor compared with control animals (P<0.001). Our findings indicate that inhalation of gasoline vapor is a serious risk factor for reproductive system in males. Keywords— Gasoline vapor, Testes tissue, Rat.
