[ 1 ] - Stereological Study of the Protective Role of Curcumin on Histological Changes of Seminal Vesicle in Mice Following Treatment with Sodium Arsenite

Background & Aims: Sodium arsenite causes oxidative stress and endocrine disorders in the reproductive system. The aim was to investigate the protective role of curcumin as an antioxidant on the seminal vesicle tissue in adult mice treated with sodium arsenite. Materials & Methods: Adult male Naval Medical Research Institute (NMRI) mice were randomly divided into 5 groups (six mice per group) ...

[ 2 ] - The Effect of Pentoxiphylin on Histological Changes of Testis and Spermatogenesis Indexes in Mouse Treated With Dexamethasone

Background and Objectives: Dexamethasone is one of the common drugs, which is used in the human severe allergies and can cause defect in the reproductive system by inducing oxidative stress. In this study, the effect of pentoxifylline as a potent antioxidant, was investigated on changes in testicular tissue and spermatogenesis indices in mice treated with dexamethasone.   Methods: In this expe...

[ 3 ] - PROTECTIVE EFFECT OF PENTOXIFYLLINE ON LIVER INJURY INDUCED BY DEXAMETHASONE IN MICE

Background & Aims: Dexamethasone (Dex) is one of the most commonly used synthetic glucocorticoidbut its excessive intake can cause severe changes in liver function. The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of pentoxifylline (PTX) on Dex-induced hepatic injury in mice. Materials & Methods: 24 adult male NMRI mice (36±2gr) were divided randomly into 4 groups (n=6): control, dexamet...

[ 4 ] - Protective Effect of Pentoxifylline on Sperm and Biochemical Parameters against Dexamethasone-Induced Toxicity in Mice

Background and purpose: Nowadays, the side effects of chemical drugs such as dexamethasone, as a steroidal anti-inflammatory factor, is considered on reducing male reproductive potential. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of pentoxifylline on sperm parameters and biochemical factors in mice treated with dexamethasone. Materials and methods: In this study, 24 adult male NMRI mice...
