“…In the chemical industry, Mo is used as a lubricant, catalyst, and pigment. In the metallurgical industry, Mo serves as a valuable alloying agent that can contribute to the hardenability and toughness of quenched and tempered steels and can improve steel strength at high temperatures (Gama et al, 2013; Xu et al, 2012). Mo is also used as an electrode for electrically heated glass furnaces and forehearths; Mo has recently been identified to be a part of nuclear energy applications for missiles and aircrafts (Chhillar et al, 2008).…”

To evaluate the effects of dietary high molybdenum (HMo) and low copper (LCu) concentrations on reproductive toxicity of male mice, 80 mice were divided into 4 groups of 20. These groups were fed with the following: (1) normal control (NC) diet (NC group); (2) NC and HMo diets (HMo group); (3) LCu diet (LCu group); and (4) HMo and LCu diets (HMoLCu group). On the 50th and 100th day, superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) were analyzed to determine oxidative stress states. Morphological changes in testicular tissue were evaluated with hematoxylin and eosin staining and ultrastructural changes were monitored by transmission electron microscopy. The results showed that administration of HMo, LCu, and HMoLCu not only decreased sperm density and motility but also increased the rate of teratosperm occurrence. A significant increase in MDA content and a decrease in SOD, GSH-Px, and T-AOC contents were observed in LCu, HMo, and HMoLCu groups. Testicular tissues and cells of mice were damaged by HMo and the damages were more serious in the case of Cu deficiency. Exposure to HMo adversely affected the reproductive system of male mice, and dietary LCu plays key roles in HMo-induced reproductive toxicity.

I first want to thank my family who has supported me through everything and never stopped believing in me. I need to thank my adviser who also supported me through all the trying times of my Ph.D. I also need to thank Dr. Jeffrey Elam and Dr. Anil Mane for all their help and generosity while at Argonne. Finally, I would like to thank all my colleagues at Boise State University and Argonne National Laboratory for their help and continued support through my Ph.D. I need especially to give thanks to all of my co-authors for their guidance and expertise.
