effect of saffron on rat sperm chromatin integrity
Authors
abstract
background: currently, relation between reactive oxygen species (ros) ros concentration and semen quality was indicated. saffron has traditionally been not only considered as a food additive but also as a medicinal herb, which has a good antioxidant properties. objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the protection potency of saffron and vitamin e on sperm chromatin integrity. materials and methods: thirty adult male wistar rats divided equally into saffron (100 mg/kg), vitamin e (100 mg/kg) and control (0.5cc distilled water /day) groups. after 60 days, cauda epididymis dissected and sperm cells were used for analysis of sperm chromatin packaging by chromomycin a3 (cma3) staining, and sperm chromatin susceptibility to acid denaturation by acridine orange (ao) staining. results: the mean percentage of cma3 positive sperm was significantly decreased in saffron and vitamin e groups relative to control group (p<0.001). moreover, the ao staining results showed that the mean percentage of sperm with dna damage was significantly decreased in saffron and vitamin e groups as compared with control group (p<0.001). conclusion: our results purposed that saffron can protect sperm against dna damage and chromatin anomalies

Background and Aim: Sperm cryopreservation is a common technique used for management of male infertility. But this method has detrimental effects on sperm DNA and chromatin quality. Evaluation of different markers associated with the health of genetic material of sperm is beneficial for determination of the fertility of sperm. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of sperm chromatin co...

Background Morphine as a natural alkaloid (opiate) is considered as one of the problems associated with poor semen production and sperm quality. For the first time, this experimental study was carried out to evaluate the impact of intra-peritoneal injection of morphine on sperm parameters, chromatin quality and DNA integrity of spermatozoa aspirated from cauda epididymis of mice.
