“…Vitamin E supplementation in diet had increased the thickness of germinal epithelium reported by Hailing 28 which is similar with the findings of Garcia-Gil et al, 29 . Zhu et al 30 also reported the thickness of germinal epithelium in Boer kids was higher with vitamin E than in control, but differences between the control and treated groups were not significantly reported.…”

“…Our findings showed that vitamin E prevented testicular weight reduction induced by CP, and another study also showed that different levels of vitamin E in diet affect the testis indexes [ 33 ]. An evidence showed that vitamin E can protect ley dig cells against reactive oxygen species [ 33 ]. Furthermore, our study demonstrated that vitamin E could not inhibit reduction of uterus weight induced by CP.…”

Background. The role of gender for nephroprotectant agent such as vitamin E in cisplatin- (CP-) induced nephrotoxicity has not been documented yet. Methods. One group from each gender of Wistar rats received a single dose of CP (7 mg/kg; i.p) and was treated with vitamin E (1 g/kg/day) for 7 days, and they were compared with similar gender in the control group. Results. The serum levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cr) in male animals treated with CP was not different from the control group, but it was significantly different in the female rats (P < 0.05). The CP-induced damage intensity in male kidney tissue was not significantly different between the CP-treated and control groups, but this was not the case in female, indicating that the tissue damage in female is significantly different from the control group (P < 0.05). No significant difference in serum levels of magnesium (Mg), nitrite, malondialdehyde (MDA), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was seen between the genders. Kidney weight and body weight changes were statistically significant in both genders (P < 0.05). Significant difference was observed in uterus weight between the two groups of female (P < 0.05). Conclusion. Vitamin E may prevent CP-induced nephrotoxicity in male, but possibly it has not such nephroprotectant effect in female.

“…Abdel-Rahman and AI-Karablieh (2000) found that injection of vitamins AD 3 E caused an increase of 8.8% in lambing rate increased the fertility of ewes by 8.0% compared with the control. In addition, Luo et al (2011) and Habeeb et al (2013) found that vitamin E supplemented in diet can improve density of spermatogenic cell, Sertoli cells, and diameter of seminiferous tubule and thickness of germinal epithelium and concluded that vitamin E has a positive role in improving the development of testis in sheep.…”

The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of vitamins AD3E administration during different seasons of the year in Egypt on physiological thermoregulatory response, blood components and semen characteristics of Damascus bucks. Thirty Damascus goat bucks aged 14-15 months and weighing 32-35 kg were divided into three similar groups (10 bucks in each). The first group (Control, G1) was kept without treatment (injected by saline solution ) , while the second (G2) and third (G3) groups were injected intramuscularly biweekly with vitamin AD3E at levels of 2 and 4 ml/buck, respectively. Thermoregulatory parameters, some Blood component and hormones, Semen characteristics, semen storage ability and Scrotal measurements were measured biweekly. The treatment period lasted during different seasons for one year.Results showed that hair, skin, rectal, scrotal skin, and ear temperatures were the highest (P<0.05) in summer and the lowest (P<0.05) in winter, but these traits were not affected by vitamins injection.Concentrations of total protein (TP), albumin (A), Ca and P decreased (P<0.05) in summer compared with other seasons, while globulin (G) concentration increased (P<0.05) in summer and autumn compared with winter and spring. Concentrations of TP, G, Ca and P increased (P<0.05) by vitamins injection. Concentration of testosterone was the highest (P<0.05) in autumn and the lowest (P<0.05) in summer. The highest (P<0.05) T3 and T4 levels was in winter . Cortisol concentration was highest (P<0.05) in summer and the lowest (P<0.05) in winter and autumn. Concentration of testosterone, T3 and T4 increased (P<0.05), while cortisol concentration decreased (P<0.05) by vitamins injection. No significant changes in scrotal circumference were observed due to change of season or due to vitamins injection. The highest testicular length was in bucks injected with 4 ml vitamins while the lowest testes length was in control bucks. Testes size increased (P<0.05) by increasing level of vitamins injection. The lowest (P<0.05) number of ejaculate and semen volume were in summer, while the highest values were in autumn. Number of ejaculate, libido and semen volume increased (P<0.05) by vitamins injection and the opposite trend was observed in pH value. The highest motility percentage and the lowest dead sperm, abnormality Habeeb, A.A.M.et.al 720 and acrosomal damage percentages were during autumn while the lowest motility percentage and the highest dead sperm, abnormality and acrosomal damage during summer. Semen characteristics including percentages of mass motility, dead sperm, abnormality and acrosomal damage improved (P<0.05) by vitamins injection. The best semen storage ability was in autumn.From these results it can be concluded that vitamins AD3E injection improved semen quality of heat stressed goats bucks, especially at a level of 4 ml/buck.
