The effect of organotin compounds (OTs) on the accumulation of the lipid peroxidation (LPO) carbonyl by-products, which react with thiobarbituric acid (TBARS) in fresh and cryopreserved sperm of Russian sturgeon, was studied. It was found that incubation (1 hour) of Russian sturgeon sperm with OTs (CH3SnCl3, (CH3)2SnCl2, (CH3)3SnCl, (n-C4H9)2SnCl2, (n-C4H9)3SnCl, (C6H5)2SnCl2, (C6H5)3SnCl) in concentration 0.1 mM led to the promotion of the accumulation of TBARS in native semen. Dimethyl- (DMT) and diphenyltin dichlorides (DPT) exhibited the greatest promoting activity, and the LPO level of both native and cryopreserved sperm of Russian sturgeon, including those in modified Stein's cryomedium, increased in the presence of these compounds. It was found that Russian sturgeon's cryopreserved sperm had lower sensitivity to the promotion of sperm LPO by DMT and DPT compared with the native sperm. The protective effect of Stein’s cryomedium decreased in the presence of the studied OTs. The results suggest that accumulation of OTs by gonad of fish is another stress factor affecting the cell productivity in the cryopreservation process.

OBJECTIVE: Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a widely studied steroid hormone with multi-functional properties. Reports suggest that some of the many activities of DHEA are due to its protective effect against lipid peroxidation. Nevertheless, the antioxidant properties of DHEA are still the subject of debate. The aim was to evaluate whether its two opposed effects on lipid peroxidation reported in the literature may be dependent on schedule and doses used. METHODS: Chang liver cells, a line derived from normal human liver, were grown in media containing either no steroids (control) or DHEA at concentrations ranging from 0.1 micromol/l to 50 micromol/l. At specific times, cultures were halted and cells received a pro-oxidant stimulus (cumene (CuOOH) 0.5 mmol/l), at which time cell viability (by trypan blue staining and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) concentration (spectrophotometrical assay) were evaluated. RESULTS: At concentrations ranging from 0.1 micromol/l to 1 micromol/l, DHEA protects Chang liver cells against lipid peroxidation and/or death induced by cumene. This effect disappears if the concentration is increased to 10 micromol/l; at higher concentrations (50 micromol/l) a pro-oxidant/cytotoxic effect of DHEA appears. CONCLUSIONS: DHEA exhibits two opposed effects on lipid peroxidation; depending on its concentration it acts either to limit or to induce oxidative stress. The threshold concentration at which the pro-oxidant activity of DHEA prevails is not far in excess of that having an antioxidant effect. Either effect of DHEA on lipid peroxidation is only evident after a 'lag-phase'.
