Role Of Taurine In Male Reproductive System Performance In Adult Male Rats Exposed To Oxiative Stress By Hydrogen Peroxide
Journal Title: Journal of Applied Veterinary Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
The experiment has been conducted to study the role of taurine of the concentration (0.5 & 1%) in the performance of the male reproductive system of rats that are exposed to oxidative stress by hydrogen peroxide for six weeks. 32 albino adult male rats aged (12-14) weeks and weighing (252.3 +/- 27.08 gram), divided into four groups: Control Group:- this group is given natural water. Group (2): treated with (H2O2, 0.5%) in drinking water. Group (3): treated with (H2O2, 0.5%) by taurine (0.5%) in drinking water. Group (4): treated with (H2O2, 0.5%) by taurine (1%) in drinking water. The results reveal that this exposure with (0.5 % H2O2) has led to a significant decrease in the body weight and the anogenital distance, the percentage weight of the testicles, head, and tail of epididymis, prostate gland, seminal vesicles, the percentage of live sperms, the number of Leydig and Sertoli cells, as well as the significant increase in the percentage of abnormal sperms and an significant decrease in the diameter of seminiferous tubules. Treatment with taurine (0.5 & 1%) has led to a significant improvement in the body weight, anogenital distance, the percentage of the testicles weight, head and tail of epididymis, prostate gland, seminal vesicles, the percentage of live sperms, the number of Leydig and Sertoli cells, as well as the significant decrease in the percentage of abnormal sperms and an significant increase in the diameter of seminiferous tubules in comparison with the treatment group by hydrogen peroxide. Treatment with taurine (1%) has led to a significant improvement of the sperm count and the percentage weight of the head and tail of the epididymis as well as the number of Leydig and Sertoli cells compared with the control group and the group of taurine (0.5%).
