ResumenBusulfán es un agente alquilante bifuncional tipo-éster, que interfiere con la replicación del ADN. Dosis elevadas de este compuesto son aplicadas antes de los transplantes de médula ósea y de células germinales, sin embargo no han sido cuantificados el daño ni la recuperación del sistema reproductor. Para cuantificar la recuperación del efecto en la espermatogénesis, se usaron ratones de la cepa Balb C, a los que se les inyectó Busulfán intraperitonealmente, 40 mg/kg de peso corporal, y se evaluó el peso testicular y la concentración espermática en cola de epidídimo, a los 30, 54 y 72 días y se realizaron cortes histológicos de testículo. Los resultados fueron analizados con la prueba U Mann-Whitney p>0.05. A los 30 días el peso testicular, la concentración espermática y el diámetro de los túbulos seminíferos presentaron una drástica reducción del 77,8%, 97,9% y 34,3% respectivamente, comparados con el grupo control. A los 54 días, el peso testicular y el diámetro testicular muestran una recuperación del 70%. A los 72 días, la recuperación es completa en los parámetros evaluados. Por lo tanto, Busulfán aplicado en una sola dosis afecta significativamente la espermatogénesis en el ratón y se logra la recuperación completa en dos ciclos espermáticos.Palabras clave: Busulfán, ratón, espermatogénesis, recuperación. AbstractThe DNA replication is disrupted by Busulfan which is a bifunctional alquilant as an ester agent. High dose of this compound are applied before transplants of bone marrow and germ cells. However quantification of the damage to the reproductive system and its recovery have not been established. The aim of this study was to quantify both spermatogenesis and spermiogenesis recovery in mice from damage caused by an injection of Busulfan. We used Balb C mice which were evaluated 30, 54 and 72 days after the intraperitoneal injection of 40 mg/kg body weight. We took the following variables: testicular weight, spermatic concentration in epididimus line and histological cuts to measure the diameter of the seminiferous tubules. Results were analyzed with the test U Mann-Whitney p>0.05. By day 30, testicular weight, spermatic concentration and diameter of the seminiferous tubules were reduced to 77,8%, 97,9% and 34,3% respectively compared to the controls. At day 54, testicular weight and diameter of the seminiferous tubules showed a recovery of 70%. Recovery was complete by day 72. Therefore Busulfan applied in a sigle dose, affects significantly spermatogenesis and the completed recovery takes two spermatic cycles in mice.
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.
