P-42: Concentrations of Zinc, Copper, Iron, lead, and Cadmium in Ram Epididymal Tissue and Their Correlations to Serum Testosterone
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Background With the advent of rapid industrialization, several chemicals are released in the air, water and soil. Chemical elements play a crucial role in male reproduction. Heavy metals exposure can adversely affect male fertility and result in severe impairment of testicular functions including germ cell death and inhibition of testicular steroidogenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the concentrations of Zn, Cu, Fe, Pb, and Cd in the tissue of ram epididymal and serum testosterone. MaterialsAndMethods Samples were taken from 45 ram in Hamadan. Concentrations of zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), Cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) in epididymal tissue by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) were measured. Serum concentration of testosterone was measured by enzyme linked fluorescent assay (ELFA) method. The datas were analysed by SAS software. The level of significance was set at P
