Abstract:

Background: This study aimed to investigate the inhibitory effects of simultaneous formaldehyde (FA) and noise exposure on the sperm kinematic parameters sexual hormones in male mice. Materials and Methods: Forty eight NMRI adult male mice were randomly assigned to control group and experimental groups which were exposed to formaldehyde vapour (10 ppm) (F), noise (100 dB) (N), and simultaneous formaldehyde with noise (NF), respectively for 10 days (8 hours a day). Mice were sacrificed 24 hours after exposure (short-term effects) and the rest of mice were sacrificed 35 days after the end of exposure (long-term effects). Sperm analyzed by computer aided sperm analysis system. Plasma concentrations of testosterone, LH, FSH were measured. Results: The results of short-term analysis showed that the serum testosterone in all exposure groups were decreased significantly compared to the control (p<0.001). In long-term analysis, the percentages of progressive motile sperm groups N, F, and NF were 33.73 ± 3.4, 26.65 ± 1.61, and 14.78 ± 4.65 respectively which had a significant decrease (p<0.05) compared to control group (44.47 ± 2.88). The progressive motile sperm in simultaneous exposure group was less than N and F groups (p<0.001). Conclusion: Thus, it can be anticipated that simultaneous exposure to formaldehyde and noise in workplaces can increase the possibility of damage to reproductive functions.

P-59: Investigation of Simultaneous Exposure to Noise and Formaldehyde Vapor on Mouse Reproductive Function

Background: Formaldehyde (FA) is a member of aldehyde family with a simplest organic molecule, used in various industries. Since there is simultaneous exposure of formaldehyde and noise for workers in most of the workplaces and that noise can reinforce the harmful effects of some chemical pollutants. This study aimed to investigate the effects of simultaneous formaldehyde and noise exposure on ...

effects of simultaneous exposure to formaldehyde vapor and noise on mouse testicular tissue and sperm parameters

conclusions exposure to formaldehyde vapor can destroy testicular structure and decrease percentages of sperm count and progressive motility. the present study indicated that a reduction in the percentage of progressive motile sperm may be potentiated by noise (700-5700 hz) in the simultaneous exposure to formaldehyde and noise group. thus, it can be anticipated that simultaneous exposure to fo...

Adverse effects of long-time exposure to formaldehyde vapour on testicular tissue and sperm parameters in rats

Formalin is widely used in industry and in medicine (as tissue fixative and disinfectant).It contains reactive molecules which have been known for its cytotoxic effects. To evaluate the effect of formalin exposure on the testicular tissue and sperm parameter from neonatal period through physical and sexual maturity, 28 male Wister rats were assigned into two equal test and control groups. The t...
