Long-Term Effect of Aspartame on Male Reproductive System: Evidence for Testicular Histomorphometrics, Hsp70-2 Protein Expression and Biochemical Status

چکیده مقاله:
Background: Aspartame is one of the most commonly consumed artificial sweeteners that is widely used in foodstuffs.There are many debatable reports about aspartame toxicity in different tissues; however, on the subject of itseffects on the reproductive system, few literatures are available. The present study was carried out for evaluating effectsof aspartame on the reproductive system in male mice.Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, a total of 36 adult male mice were randomly divided into fourgroups of nine animals each. Three groups received aspartame at doses of 40, 80 and 160 mg/kg (gavage) for 90 days;also, a control group was considered. Twenty-four hours after the last treatment, animals were sacrificed. Then, bodyand testis weights, sperm parameters, serum testosterone concentration, total antioxidant capacity, and malondialdehyde(MDA) levels, antioxidant enzymes [superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)] activities in blood, histomorphometrical indices and histochemical changes in testis were evaluated; also,mRNA and immunohistochemical expression of Hsp70-2 was measured in testis tissue.Results: The results revealed remarkable differences in sperm parameters, testosterone and oxidative stress biomarkerslevels, and histomorphometrical indices, between the control and treatment groups. Also, in 80 and 160 mg/kg aspartametreatedgroups, expression of Hsp70-2 was decreased. Besides, in the aspartame receiving groups, some histochemicalchanges in testicular tissue were observed.Conclusion: The findings of the present study elucidated that long-term consumption of aspartame resulted in reproductivedamages in male mice through induction of oxidative stress.

BACKGROUND This research studied the effect of ciprofloxacin (CPFX) on spermatogenesis. We aimed to estimate the effect of CPFX on serum levels of testosterone, LH and FSH. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this experimental study, a total of 24 mice were assigned to controlsham and test groups. We subdivided the test group into low (206 mg/kg) and high (412 mg/kg) dose CPFX groups. Control-sham anima...

Introduction: Aspartame is the most famous and widely used artificial sweetener which is extensively used in food stuffs. Many controversial reports are presented on the toxisity of aspartame on different body tissues; nonetheles, little data is available about the the side effects of Aspartame on the reproductive system. The present study was conducted in order to evaluate the effects of aspar...
