Abstract:

Background: Male infertility is a widespread problem and increased number of mast cells-induced by some drugs like sulpiride atipycal antipsychotic drug, ara described in the testis of males, exhibiting impaired sper-matogenesis and fertility disorders. In this study number of mast cells and sertoli cells, thickness of seminiferous tubule’s lamina propria and sperm concentration and viability in sulpiride treated mice were investigated. Materials and Methods: 18 adult male mice were categorized into 3 groups. Treatment group was administered sulpiride 40 mg/kg/day IP for 45 days. Control sham received sesame oil as a vehicle of drug and control group received nothing. 45 days later couda epididymis were removed and placed in HTF medium. After sperm swimming up, the spermatozoal suspention was analyzed for sperm concentration in couda epididymis and viability. Testicular tissue samples were taken for histological studies using Toluidine-blue (mast cells), Iron-weigret (sertoli cells) and Azan-mallory (type IV collagen fibers) staining methods. Results: Increased number of mast cells, reduced number of sertoli cells and obvious thickness of seminiferous tubule’s lamina propria are observed in treated group in comparison with control-sham and ontrol groups. Statistically significant decrease in sperm concentration and viability are found between treated group and 2 other groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: In sulpiride consumers, accumulation of mast cells and fibrotic remodeling of seminiferous tubule’s lamina propria cause sertoli cells dysfunction with reduced sperm production that can lead to male infertility.

P-4: Effect of Reduced FSH Serum Concentration Induced by Sulpiride Atypical Antipsychotic Drug on Repopulation Index and Number of Primery Spermatocyte Cells in Adult Male Mice

Background: Usage of some atipycal antipsychotic drugs like sulpiride has severed effects on male fertility by impressions on sexual hormones secretion. These hormones regulate male germ cells proliferation and differentiation. In the present study we sought to elucidate the impact of sulpiride on serum prolactin and FSH concentration. Also effect of FSH on spermatogonium A/B (repopulation inde...

P-88: Mast Cells Number and Distribution and Myoid Cells Population Are Impressed by Sulpiride Antipsychotic Drug

Background: Spermatogenesis is under the control of variety of factors, which include mast cells. Any changes in testicular mast cells’ number and distribution resulting in deterioration of comlex regulation and fine-turning of spermatogenesis. Increased number of mast cells and their abnormal spread pattern have been described in the testis with fertility disturbances. Mast cells’ tryptase enz...

P-74: Crocin Repopulate The Leydig and Sertoli Cells in Testis of Cyclophosphamide Treated Adult Mice

Background: Increases in the survival rate of men treated with chemotherapeutic drugs and their desire to have children precipitate concerns about the effects of these drugs on germ cells. This study performed to evaluation of protective effects of crocin in oxidative stress induced by cyclophosphamide (CP) on testis. Materials and Methods: Three groups (6 mice in each) of adult mice were used....

P-5: Evaluation of The Effect of Sulpiride As An Atypical Antipsychotic Drug, on The Serum Levels of Prolactin, LH, FSH and Testosterone in Adult Male Mice

Background: Prescription of the atypical antipsychotic drugs like as Sulpiride for the treatment of schizophrenic patients was increased because of their less side effects. This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of sulpiride on hormonal milieu of adult male mice namely their serum level of prolactin and sexual hormones. Materials and Methods: 24 adult male mice were divided in three groups...

P-7: Testosterone and Gonadotrophin Hormones Plasma Concentration-Induced Changes in Sertoli and Leydig Cells Number in Hyperprolactinemic Mature Male Mice

Background: Hyperprolactinemia is a particular concern in the treatment of schizophrenic patients. The side effects associated with high prolactin levels can have a negative impact on GnRH pulsatile secretion and, consequently LH, FSH and testosterone pulsatility and follows by, on special testicular cells that have these hormon’s receptors such as sertoli and leydig cells. Quantification the d...
