Histomorphometric and Histopathological Alterations of Rat Testis Following Exposure to Hydrogen ‎Peroxide: Protective Role of Resveratrol Supplement

Abstract


 
 
 
 Resveratrol (RS) is widely used in medical fields as an antioxidant. Current research investigated ‎the protective role of RS supplement on histomorphometric and histopathological alterations in ‎testes were caused by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) of rats as an animal model. Thirty-two adult ‎rats were utilized in this study, divided randomly into 4 equal groups as follows. The group C ‎was given tap water only and served as control, the 2nd group (G1) was given 0.5% of H2O2 of ‎tap water, the 3rd group (G2) was given tap water containing 0.5% of H2O2 and intubated RS ‎supplement at 87 mg/kg BW, and 4th group intubated RS supplement 87 mg/kg BW. after 56 ‎days of treatment, rats were euthanized, dissected then, specimens of testes tissue were collected ‎for histomorphometric and histopathological evaluation. Our results showed that administration ‎of H2O2 caused a significant histomorphometric with histopathological changes in the form of a ‎thickness of fibrous tunica albuginea, disarrangement of germ cells, necrosis of spermatogonia, ‎edema, and loss of sperms as compared to other groups. Meanwhile, these histological alterations ‎were partially attenuated in the G2 group that intubated resveratrol. Thus, the current study ‎concluded that resveratrol may have therapeutic value in the treatment of induced testicular injury ‎by H2O2 due to its antioxidant activity and attenuation of harmful effects of oxidative ‎stress through a mechanism that should be elucidated in future studies.
 
 
 

Ovalbumin-Induced Asthma in Rats is Alleviated by Resveratrol Treatment

“…Although, most of the research on resveratrol's anti-inflammatory effects has focused on its modulation of inflammatory signaling pathways and immune cell function, rather than its impact on tissue permeability. Resveratrol markedly attenuated the effects of H2O2 on the defect Tunica albuginea, disorganized germ cells, necrosis of spermatogonia, and azoospermia (Abdulla et al, 2022). The physical barrier may be protected by resveratrol, which may be connected to the control of tight junction protein expression and the reduction of oxidative stress (Buckley et al, 2018).…”

The effects of ghee administration in comparison to sunflower seeds oil on liver tissue and some biochemical parameters in rats

“…The toxic effect of high fat diet is evitable (32) like toxicity of some plants extracts and other toxin (33) (34). It is however the matter of ratio of fat peroxidation to antioxidants that determine its toxicity (35).It worthwhile to mention some other studies that show the antihyperlipidemic effect of some plants (36) the effect of many food preservative may affect other organs (37) The bad effects of oils used nowadays may be attributed to the way of cooking (38,39) As fish oils are cardioprotective (40)and sesame oil which shows promise in decreasing high levels of cholesterol and inflammation, lowering risks of atherosclerosis (41).…”
