P-48: Nicotine Alters Both Somatic and Germ Cells in Adult Mouse Testis
Background: Nicotine as a toxic agent in cigarette has detrimental effects on reproduction. The aim of this study was to evaluate effects of of nicotine on germ and somatic cells in adult mouse testis. Materials and Methods: Male mice were divided into four groups. Group A or controls, groups of B, C and D were treated with nicotine intraperitoneally in doses of 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 mg/100 g body w...
متن کاملIdentification of Spata-19 New Variant with Expression beyond Meiotic Phase of Mouse Testis Development
Background: The study of specific genes expressed in the testis is important to understanding testis development and function. Spermatogenesis is an attractive model for the study of gene expression during germ cell differentiation. Spermatogenesis associated-19 (Spata-19) is a recently-identified important spermatogenesis-related gene specifically expressed in testis. Its protein product is in...
متن کاملDown-Regulation of Lipocalin 2 Expression in Mouse Testis after Exposure to Electromagnetic Field
Background: The effects of electromagnetic field (EMF) on reproductive system have been of critical concern for a long time. It has been shown that the EMF can adversely affect testicular cells and tissue and decrease male fertility. The most important determinants of male fertility are sperm development and motility, which are affected by changes in several factors including lipocalin 2 protei...
متن کاملDown-Regulation of Metallothionein 1 and 2 after Exposure to Electromagnetic Field in Mouse Testis
Background: It is proved that testis is sensitive to electromagnetic field (EMF) and its damage results in infertility. Exposure to EMF induces reactive oxygen species production and affects on anti-oxidants defense mechanisms. Metallothionein (MT) is a name for a group of low molecular weight (6-7 kDa), sulfhydryl rich proteins. Expression of MT1 and MT2 genes in testis tissue after EMF exposu...
متن کاملP-220: Co-Administration of Testosterone and Vitamin E Inhibited The Atrazine-Induced Damages on Testis; Evidence for RNA Damage and Leydig Cells Steroidogenesis
Background: Atrazine (ATR), an herbicide, is used in order to control broadleaf and grassy weed. ATR has been estimated to impact the testicular tissue both by inhibiting the endocrine system and partly by reducing the antioxidant status. Thus, current study was designed to evaluate the protective effect of vitamin E and testosterone against ATR-induced damages in testicular tissue. Materials a...
