Dehydrozingerone ameliorates arsenic-induced reproductive toxicity in male Wistar rats
Arsenic (As3+), a significant environmental pollutant that has garnered global attention, is widely recognized for its adverse effects on reproductive health. This study assesses the aphrodisiac activity of Dehydrozingerone (DHZ) against As3+ induced sexual dysfunction in male Wistar rats. Male Wistar rats were divided into control, As3+, and As3++DHZ groups. The As3+ group received 5 mg/kg sodium arsenite (NaAsO2) orally while As3++DHZ group received 50 mg/kg synthesized DHZ along with As3+ for 42 days. Following administration, mount and intromission latency, frequency, and average time were measured to assess aphrodisiac and reproductive toxicity in male Wistar rats which had 1:1 coitus with female rats. On days 14th, 28th, and 42nd, sexual behaviour was measured. Further on 43rd day, animals were sacrificed, blood was collected to measure oxidative parameters and LH hormone, and then testes were collected to profile reproductive damage. As3+ treated rats had lower sperm counts, motility, and abnormalities. These alterations reduced sexual hormones. In addition, As3+ toxicity depleted antioxidant indicators including SOD, GSH and elevated ROS. Compared to the As3+ group, As3++DHZ showed a substantial (p < 0.05) increase in sperm count, motility, and reduced abnormalities. DHZ also reversed the rise in luteinizing hormone caused by As3+ therapy, restored oxidative indicators, and improved seminiferous tubule structural damage. 42 days As3+ exposure slightly increased rats’ sexual desire but not sperm quality. However, As3++DHZ lower libido and sperm quality. Thus, DHZ therapy enhanced rat sexual desire and sperm quality compared to As3+.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Molecular Histology publishes results of original research on the localization and expression of molecules in animal cells, tissues and organs. Coverage includes studies describing novel cellular or ultrastructural distributions of molecules which provide insight into biochemical or physiological function, development, histologic structure and disease processes.
Major research themes of particular interest include:
- Cell-Cell and Cell-Matrix Interactions;
- Connective Tissues;
- Development and Disease;
- Neuroscience.
Please note that the Journal of Molecular Histology does not consider manuscripts dealing with the application of immunological or other probes on non-standard laboratory animal models unless the results are clearly of significant and general biological importance.
The Journal of Molecular Histology publishes full-length original research papers, review articles, short communications and letters to the editors. All manuscripts are typically reviewed by two independent referees. The Journal of Molecular Histology is a continuation of The Histochemical Journal.
