abstract

background: diabetes mellitus (dm), primary or idiopathic is a chronic disorder of the carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism. dm may impact male reproductive function at several levels. it is shown that dm has detrimental effects on sperm parameters in human and experimental animals. objective: the aim of this study was to observe the effects of diabetes on sperm parameters (viability, count, morphology and motility) and evaluation of sperm chromatin quality in mice. materials and methods: totally twenty adult male syrian mice were divided randomly into 2 groups (n=10). the animals of group a were considered as controls while group b mice were diabetic that received a single dose (200 mg/kg) streptozotocin (stz) intra peritoneally. after 35 days, the cauda epididymis of each diabetic mouse was dissected and placed in culture medium for 30 min. the swim-out spermatozoa were analyzed for count, motility, morphology and viability. the sperm chromatin quality and dna integrity, was evaluated with aniline blue (ab), toluidine blue (tb), acridine orange (ao) and chromomycin a3 (cma3) staining. results: in sperm analysis, the diabetic mice had poor parameters in comparison with control animals (p=0.000). regarding sperm chromatin quality, the results of tb and ao tests showed statically significant differences between two groups, but in ab and cma3 staining, we didn’t see any differences between them. conclusion: the results showed that stz-induced diabetes mellitus may influence the male fertility potential via affecting sperm parameters and dna integrity in mice. however, according to our data, the diabetes doesn’t have any detrimental effects on histone-protamines replacement during the testicular phase of sperm chromatin packaging.

P-61: Effects of Acrylamid on Sperm Parameters and Chromatin Quality in Mice

Background: Acrylamid (AA) is found in carbohydraterich foods that are prepared at high temperatures, such as French fries and potato chips. The toxic effects of AA in male animals include degeneration of epithelial cells of seminiferous tubules, decreased number of sperm and elevation in abnormal spermatozoa. The aim of this study was to evaluate the detrimental effects of AA on sperm paramete...

P-1: Morphine Has Detrimental Effects on Sperm Parameters, Chromatin Quality and DNA Integrity in Mice

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.

Olive Leaves Extract Effects on Sperm Quality Following Experimentally-Induced Diabetes in Rats

Background: The experimental model of streptozotocine (STZ)-induced diabetes explains changes in the male reproductive system as part of the disease. Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the olive leaf extract effects on STZ-induced diabetes and to examine its modulatory effects on sperm quality. Methods: Twenty adult male Sprague–Dawley rats were divided into four equal grou...

P-12: The Improvement of Sperm Parameters and Chromatin Quality by Vitamin E Supplement in Mice

Background: Vitamin E is believed to be the primary component of the antioxidant system in spermatozoa. There is a relationship between activity of these antioxidant and function of sperm. Vitamins E and C which are belong to non-enzymatic antioxidant are used as a supplemented drug to improve sperm quality and male fertility. The present study was carried out to investigate the positive effect...
