Present study was performed in order to update the possible mechanism(s), involving in nanosilver particles (NSPs)-induced detrimental impacts in ovarian tissue. For this purpose, 24 mature female rats were divided into control and 0.5, 1, 5 mg/kg NSPs-received groups (intraperitoneally, for 35 days). Follicular growth and atresia, ovarian total antioxidant capacity (TAC), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) contents, serum estrogen (E ) level and macrophages infiltration were investigated. Moreover, ovarian angiogenesis, cellular mRNA damage and cytochrome aromatase CYP19 expression were analyzed. The NSPs enhanced follicular atresia diminished E reduced TAC and SOD level, elevated MDA content and up-regulated macrophages infiltration. Cellular mRNA damage, impaired angiogenesis and diminished CYP19 expression were revealed in NSPs-received groups. Therefore NSPs by down-regulating aromatization, reduce E synthesis which then it leads to impaired angiogenesis. The impaired angiogenesis in turn down-regulates ovarian antioxidant status, which partially enhances follicular atresia by triggering lipid peroxidation and mRNA damage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
