Antiapoptotic effects of vitamins C and E against cypermethrin-induced oxidative stress and spermatogonial germ cell apoptosis.
Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology 2018 August
Toxicological studies have demonstrated the relation between use of agrochemicals and fertility issues within males. Thus, the present study aimed to elucidate the propensity of cypermethrin (CYP) in bringing testicular germ cell apoptosis and effective attenuation by vitamins C and E in caprines. Reproductive toxicity of CYP was evaluated using histomorphological, cytological, and biochemical changes in the testicular germ cells in dose-dependent (1, 5, 10 μg/mL) and time-dependent (4, 6, 8 h) manner. Histological and ethidium bromide/acridine orange fluorescence staining exhibited that vitamins C and E (0.5 and 1.0 mM) successfully diminished the CYP-induced testicular germ cells apoptosis. CYP exposure along with vitamins C and E supplementation also resulted in significantly increased ferric reducing antioxidant power activity along with the antioxidant enzymes, namely catalase, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione-s-transferase, and decreased lipid peroxidation in testicular germ cells. Thus, vitamins C and E ameliorated CYP-induced testicular germ cell apoptosis, thereby preventing spermatogonial cells degeneration and male infertility.
