O-4: Protective Effect of Silymarin on Sperm Viability and Chromatin Packing in Varicocele-Induced Rats
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Background: Varicocele has been repeatedly implicated as a cause of infertility in selected men. Previous studies have showed high levels of seminal oxidative stress, as evidenced by increased levels of ROS and reduced total antioxidant capacity in varicocele men, suggesting that sperm dysfunction in varicocele patients may be partly related to oxidative stress. Thus current study was designed to evaluate the effect of slymarin on varicocele-induced oxidative stress and to analyze sperm viability and motility. Materials and Methods: Eighteen Mature male Wister rats divided into 3 groups as; control-sham (left varicocele induced for 42 days), Varicocele+SMN-administrated (50 mg/kg/day for 42 days, orally) group and control group. The testicular malondialdehyde (MDA) was evaluated. Aniline-blue and Eosin-nigrosin staining techniques were performed in order to evaluate sperm nuclear maturity (Chromatin packing) and viability respectively. Results: Biochemical analyses showed that the MDA level significantly (p<0.05) increased in varicocelized rats and slymarin administration remarkably reduced MDA level. Light microscopic observations revealed that, the percentage of viable sperms and as well the percentage of sperms with matured nuclei significantly (p<0.05) increased in slymarin-administrated group. Meanwhile in varicocelized rats the sperm viability and nuclear maturity remarkably (p<0.05) decreased in comparison to control and slymarin-received groups. Conclusion: Slymarin as antioxidant compound can fairly protect sperm viability by reducing varicoceleinduced oxidative stress. The results also indicated that slymarin decreases free radicals detrimental effects on sperm DNA by increasing sperm nuclear maturity rate.

Background Varicocele (VCL) is characterized by a progressive disorder which is defined by tortuosity of the pampiniform plexus veins. Although elevated oxidative stress, diminished endocrine status and severe inflammation are considered as main reasons for VCL-induced apoptosis, the role of estrogen receptors, testicular aromatization and proto-oncogenes under these conditions are remained unk...

BACKGROUND Sodium arsenite can impair male reproductive function by inducing oxidative stress. Silymarin is known as a potent antioxidant. OBJECTIVE This study was performed to investigate if silymarin can prevent the adverse effect of sodium arsenite on ram sperm viability, motility and mitochondrial membrane potential. MATERIALS AND METHODS Epidydimal spermatozoa obtained from ram were di...

Background: Although the pathophysiology of the testicular damage associated with varicocele remains unclear, but varicocelectomy is considered a suitable technique for the treatment of individuals with clinical varicocele. The current study was designed to assessed semen parameters, chromatin packaging, and pregnancy outcome before and after varicocelectomy. Materials and Methods: Semen sample...

Objective(s): Gentamicin is used for the treatment of Gram-negative bacterial infections. However, gentamicin administration is limited because of nephrotoxicity. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the protective effect of crocin against gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. Materials and Methods: Thirty two male Wistar rats received gentamicin (100 mg/kg, IP), with or without c...
