Effect of Wheatgrass Juice on Fertility Changes Induced by Cyclophosphamide in Male Wistar Albino Rats
In the present study, reproductive toxicity caused by cyclophosphamide on sperm parameters, biochemical parameters, histopathology and protective effect of wheatgrass juice was examined. There were total 6 groups of adult Wistar albino rats. Each group had 6 rats. After 24hrs of the last treatment, rats were sacrificed by cervical dislocation and sperm parameters like sperm count and motility, plasma malonaldehyde (MDA) levels, catalase (CAT) levels, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH) activities in testicular tissue, and testicular histopathological changes in the testicular tissue were examined. Administration of cyclophosphamide showed an increase in plasma MDA level and decrease in SOD, GSH and Catalase activity. These values were statistically significant. However, wheatgrass juice treatment along with cyclophosphamide markedly showed improvement in reducing Cyclophosphamide-induced oxidative stress, and normalized sperm characteristics and testicular histopathology. Thus, in conclusion, cyclophosphamide causes fertility changes which leads to male infertility, whereas wheatgrass juice has a protective effect on reversing the testicular damage and male infertility.
期刊介绍:
Biomedical and Pharmacology Journal (BPJ) is an International Peer Reviewed Research Journal in English language whose frequency is quarterly. The journal seeks to promote research, exchange of scientific information, consideration of regulatory mechanisms that affect drug development and utilization, and medical education. BPJ take much care in making your article published without much delay with your kind cooperation and support. Research papers, review articles, short communications, news are welcomed provided they demonstrate new findings of relevance to the field as a whole. All articles will be peer-reviewed and will find a place in Biomedical and Pharmacology Journal based on the merit and innovativeness of the research work. BPJ hopes that Researchers, Research scholars, Academician, Industrialists etc. would make use of this journal for the development of science and technology. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Biochemistry Genetics Microbiology and virology Molecular, cellular and cancer biology Neurosciences Pharmacology Drug Discovery Cardiovascular Pharmacology Neuropharmacology Molecular & Cellular Mechanisms Immunology & Inflammation Pharmacy.
