abstract

background: the role of oxidative stress in endosulfan-induced reproductive toxicity has been implicated. this study was performed to evaluate the possible protective effect of vitamins e and c, against endosulfan-induced reproductive toxicity in rats. methods: fifty adult male sprague–dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups (n=10 each). the groups included a control receiving vehicle, a group treated with endosulfan (10 mg/kg/day) alone, and three endosulfan-treated group receiving vitamin c (20 mg/kg/day), vitamin e (200 mg/kg/day), or vitamine c+vitamin e at the same doses. after 10 days of treatment, sperm parameters, plasma lactate dehydrogenase (ldh), plasma testosterone and malondialdehyde (mda) levels in the testis were determined. results: oral administration of endosulfan caused a reduction in the sperm motility, viability, daily sperm production (dsp) and increased the number of sperm with abnormal chromatin condensation. endosulfan administration increased testis mda and plasma ldh. supplementation of vitamin c and vitamin e to endosulfan-treated rats reduced the toxic effect of endosulfan on sperm parameters and lipid peroxidation in the testis. vitamin e was more protective than vitamin c in reducing the adverse effects of the endosulfan. conclusion: the findings data suggest that administration of vitamins c and e ameliorated the endosulfan-induced oxidative stress and sperm toxicity in rat. the effect of vitamin e in preventing endosulfan-induced sperm toxicity was superior to that of vitamin c.

Malathion-induced testicular toxicity in male rats and the protective effect of vitamins C and E.

Sexually mature male Wistar rats (weighing 300-320 g and each group 6 animals) were given malathion (27 mg/kg; 1/50 of the LD(50) for an oral dose) and/or vitamin C (200mg/kg)+vitamin E (200mg/kg) daily via gavage for 4 weeks. The sperm counts, sperm motility, sperm morphology, FSH, LH, and testosterone levels, and histopathological changes in the testes of these rats, were investigated at the ...

Evaluating the Effect of Vitamins E and C on Sexual Cell Lineages in Adult Male Rats under Oxidative Stress Induced by Endosulfan Consumption

Background & Objective: Endosulfan is one of the strong insecticides used in agriculture. This toxin is absorbed by inhalation and skin. Endosulfan has side effects such as infertility in men. This study surveys the effect of vitamins E and C on  preventing the harmful effects of Endosulfan on spermatogenesis in adult male rats. Materials & Methods: Adult male rats (200-250 g) from Wistar...

Effect of endosulfan on male reproductive development.

There is experimental evidence of adverse effects of endosulfan on the male reproductive system, but there are no human data. Therefore, we undertook a study to examine the relationship between environmental endosulfan exposure and reproductive development in male children and adolescents. The study population was composed of 117 male schoolchildren (10-19 years of age) of a village situated at...
