abstract

objective: this study aimed to investigate the effects of royal jelly (rj) on catalase, total antioxidant capacity and embryo development in adult mice treated with oxymetholone (oxm). materials and methods: in this exprimental study, 32 male and 96 female adult naval medical research institute (nmri) mice (7-9 weeks of age) with a ratio of 1:3 for fertilization purposes were randomly divided into 4 groups as follows: i. control group (n=8) receiving 0.1 ml/mice saline daily by gavage for 30 day, ii. rj group (n=8) treated with rj at a dose of 100 mg/kg daily by gavage for 30 days, iii. oxm group (n=8) receiving oxm at the dose of 5 mg/kg daily by gavage for 30 days and iv. rj+oxm group (n=8) receiving rj at the dose of 100 mg/kg daily by gavage concomitant with 100 mg/kg oxm administration for 30 days. results: analysis revealed a significant reduction in catalase, total antioxidant, as well as embryo development in oxm group (p<0.05). however, rj group showed a salient recovery in the all of the above mentioned parameters and embryo toxicity. conclusion: the results of this study indicated a partially protective effect of rj against oxm-induced embryo toxicity.

Protective Effects of Royal Jelly on Oxymetholone- Induced Liver Injury in Mice

Background: The present study was carried out to investigate the possible protective effects of royal jelly (RJ) on oxymetholone (OXM)-induced oxidative liver injuries in mice. Methods: In total, 32 adult male NMRI mice were divided into four groups of eight mice each. Mice in groups 1 and 2 were orally administered 5 mg/kg/day OXM for 30 days. At the same time, mice in group 3 received RJ at a...

Protective effects of cornus mas extract on in vitro fertilization potential in methotrexate treated male mice

Current study was aimed to evaluating protective effects of cornus mas fruit extract (CMFE) in mice treated with methotrexate (MTX). For this purpose, 48 young mature male mice were divided into 6 groups. Control group received only normal saline (0.1 mLper day, intraperitoneally), and the second group was administered MTX (20 mg kg-1 perweek, intraperitoneally). The third, ...

P-86: Protective Effect of Vitamin C and Royal Jelly on Sex Hormones on Phenylhydrazine Treated Adult Male Mice

Background: Phenylhydrazine (PHZ) is used to induce experimental anemia in animal models. On the other hand royal jelly is known as antioxidant compound. Therefore, here in present study we aimed to evaluate the protective effect of royal jelly on PHZ-induced damages in testicular tissue and compare its impact with vitamin C. Materials and Methods: Eighteen mature male mice were randomly divide...
