چکیده

background: in recent years, concerns have been raised about human reproductive disorders. caffeine consumption is increasing by the world’s population and there is a relationship between caffeine intake and adverse reproductive outcomes. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of caffeine on implantation sites, number of live births, birth weight, crown-rump length (crl) and abnormality in pregnant rats. materials and methods: in this experimental study, 40 female albino rats (170-190 g) were randomly divided into two experimental and two control groups (n=10/each group). in both experimental groups, animals received caffeine intraperitoneally (ip: 150 mg/kg/day) on days 1-5 of pregnancy. in experimental group 1, treated animals were euthanized on day 7of pregnancy and the number of implantation sites was counted. in experimental group 2, treated animals maintained pregnant and after delivery, the number of live births, birth weight, crl and abnormality of neonates were investigated. in control group, animals received ip injections of distilled water. data were analyzed by independent t test. results: results showed that administration of caffeine significantly decreased the number of implantation sites, number of live births and crl as compared with control group (p<0.05). there were no significant differences regarding birth weight and abnormality of neonate rats between experimental and control groups. conclusion: these results suggest that caffeine caused anti-fertility effect and significantly decreased crl in neonate rats.

Single early prenatal lipopolysaccharide exposure impairs striatal monoamines and maternal care in female rats.

AIMS Environmental information received by a mother can induce a phenotype change in her offspring, commonly known as a maternal effect (trans-generational effect). The present work verified the effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which mimics bacterial infection, on maternal care and on the activity of related brain areas in F1 offspring, i.e., female rats that were prenatally exposed to LPS....

Excess caffeine exposure impairs eye development during chick embryogenesis

Caffeine has been an integral component of our diet and medicines for centuries. It is now known that over consumption of caffeine has detrimental effects on our health, and also disrupts normal foetal development in pregnant mothers. In this study, we investigated the potential teratogenic effect of caffeine over-exposure on eye development in the early chick embryo. Firstly, we demonstrated t...

Prenatal alcohol exposure impairs autophagy in neonatal brain cortical microvessels

Brain developmental lesions are a devastating consequence of prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE). We recently showed that PAE affects cortical vascular development with major effects on angiogenesis and endothelial cell survival. The underlying molecular mechanisms of these effects remain poorly understood. This study aimed at characterizing the ethanol exposure impact on the autophagic process in ...

Iodine excess exposure during pregnancy and lactation impairs maternal thyroid function in rats

Adequate maternal iodine consumption during pregnancy and lactation guarantees normal thyroid hormones (TH) production, which is crucial to the development of the fetus. Indeed, iodine deficiency is clearly related to maternal hypothyroidism and deleterious effects in the fetal development. Conversely, the effects of iodine excess (IE) consumption on maternal thyroid function are still controve...
