Soy is flavones are phytoestrogens with potential hormonal activity due to their similar chemical structure to 17-B-estradiol. The increasing availability of Soyis flavones throughout the food supply and through use of supplements has prompted extensive research on biological benefits to humans in chronic diseaseprevention and health maintenance. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of consumption of soy bean by pregnant mice on histomorphology of testis, epididymis in the male offspring's. Twenty pregnant female mice at age of six weeks were used as a model for this study.After 40 days (around the puberty age) the animals were sacrificed to get their testes and epididymis each testis and epididymis was weighted, then preparedusing routine histological technique mouse born from mother treated with Soy bean extract (1.5mg daily), Note the absence of mature sperms and the appearance of immature sperms in the lumen seminiferous tubules and the appearance immature sperms connected to the germinal epithelium, and also we note in the epididymis of young male mouse from mother treated with soy bean extract absence of maturesperms in the lumen of the epididymis. Diameters of seminiferous tubules and epididymis together with the thickness of their germinal wall were calculated, these observation indicate that the perinatal exposure of male mice to is flavones affected in testies and epididymis, and they imply that Soy bean has potential implication for testis function.
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.
