abstract

objective(s): reproductive dysfunction is a consequence of diabetes. diabetes is associated with changes in testicular tissue. sesame oil contains large amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids and lignin with antioxidant activity, vitamin e, and monounsaturated fatty acid (mufa). the present study investigated the effects of sesame on testis histology and male reproductive parameters in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. materials and methods: thirty mature male wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups, i.e., control (c), diabetic-control (dc), and sesame-treated diabetic rats (sd). diabetes was induced by a single dose of streptozotocin (65 mg/kg; i.p). the animals were treated by a single intraperitoneal sesame extract injection (100 mg/kg b.w.) once daily for 6 weeks. results: the biochemical analysis revealed that the diabetes resulted in significant (p<0.05) reduction in spermiogenesis, testosterone, lh, and fsh levels. light microscopic analysis showed remarkable (p<0.05) reduction in std (seminiferous tubules diameter), spi (spermatogenesis index) thickness of the epithelium, and significant increase in thickness of the interstitial tissue in the diabetic group compared with the control group. simultaneous administration of the sesame could fairly up-regulate testosterone, lh, and fsh of the animals in this group. however, some differences were manifested with improved histological features as thickness of the epithelium, seminiferous tubules diameter, and spermatogenesis index. conclusion: these data demonstrated that sesame significantly improved diabetes complication in rat testis. this study suggested that sesame might have a protective effect against oxidative stress-induced impaired testicular functions in diabetic rats.

Effect of melatonin on testicular damage in streptozotocin-induced diabetes rats.

BACKGROUND It is well known that diabetes mellitus is associated with impairment of testicular function. In the present study, we aimed to demonstrate the effect of melatonin on testicular damage in male rats with streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes. METHODS Male Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups: (1) control group, (2) melatonin-treated nondiabetic group, (3) diabetic group and (4) me...

Effects of Sesame Butter (Ardeh) versus Sesame Oil on Metabolic and Oxidative Stress Markers in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats

Background: Diabetes is one of the most common metabolic disorders and is related to oxidative-stress-induced diseases. Given the role of dietary antioxidants in the control and prevention of diabetes, this study aimed to examine the effects of sesame butter versus sesame oil on the serum levels of glucose, lipid profile, and oxidative stress biomarkers in diabetic rats.Methods: Forty male albi...

Effects of Vanadyl Sulphate on Glucose Homeostasis in Severe Diabetes Induced by Streptozotocin in Rats

Background: There is not any in vivo studies that shows inducing of euglycemia by vanadyl is independent from plasma insulin.  Therefore in the present study we planned to investigate the antidiabetic effects of vanadyl in diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: Rats became severely diabetic by an IV injection of 50-55mg/kg streptozotocin (STZ), 15 days after the injection, the blood glucose of ...

Effects of Resveratrol on Methotrexate-Induced Testicular Damage in Rats

This study investigated the probable protective effects of resveratrol (RES), an antioxidant, against methotrexate- (MTX-) induced testis damage. Twenty-four male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups: control, RES, MTX, and MTX + RES groups. Rats were sacrificed at the end of the experiment. Plasma and tissue malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and cat...
