The aims of this research was to investigate effect of alpha-tocopherol on spermatozoa death in form of apoptosis and necrosis in rats (Rattus norvegicus) exposed 2,3,7,8- tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin. Male rats were administered TCDD and alpha-tocopherol in experimental groups. Five experimental groups of a combination of TCDD and alpha- tocopherol were designed as follows; 0.5 ml of corn oil (control negative group, K-), 700 ng/kg/d of TCDD and 0.5 ml of corn oil (treatment control), 700 ng/kg/d of TCDD and 77 ng/kg/d of alpha-tocopherol (Group P1), 700 ng/kg/d of TCDD and 140 mg/kg/d of alpha-tocopherol (Group P2), 700 ng/kg/d of TCDD and 259 mg/kg/d of alpha- tocopherol (Group P3) respectively. Alpha-tocopherol and TCDD were given by oral gavage for 20 days. The result indicated that TCDD increased spermatozoa death in form of apoptosis and also necrosis. Alpha-tocopherol at 259 mg/kg/d most effective to decreased spermatozoa death number. The conclusion indicated that alpha-tocopherol at 259 mg/kg/d effective to decreased the spermatozoa death in form of apoptosis and necrosis in rats (Rattus norvegicus) exposed 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin.

 This research aimed to determine the effect of α-tocopherol on the count of spermatogenic and Leydig cells in rats (Rattus norvegicus) exposed to 2,3,7,8 tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (dioxin). Dioxin is an endocrine-disrupting agent that adversely affects reproductive health, while α-tocopherol maintains fertility. This research used 25 rats aged 10-12 weeks weighing 150-200 grams. Rats were divided into five groups (K, P0, P1, P2 and P3). The K (control group) was administered with corn oil 1 ml/day. P0 was exposed to 700 ng/kg/day dioxin. P1, P2 and P3 was exposed to dioxin at a dose of 700 ng/kg/day and administered with α-tocopherol at a dose of 77, 140 and 259 mg/kg/day respectively. Dioxin exposure, corn oil and α-tocopherol administration were conducted orally for 20 days. On day-21, all rats were sacrificed for histological slides preparation of testicles with hematoxylin-eosin staining. Data were analyzed with analysis of variance and continued with the Duncan test. The results indicated that exposure to dioxin caused a decrease in the number of spermatogenic and Leydig cells. The administration of α-tocopherol at a dose of 140 mg/kg/day eliminated the effect of reducing the number of spermatogenic and Leydig cells caused by exposure to dioxin. The conclusion was the administration of α-tocopherol at 140 mg/kg/day was effective in maintaining the number of spermatogenic and Leydig cells in rats (Rattus norvegicus) exposed to 2,3,7,8 tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin.

<P>Background: The increase of oxidant compounds is the most well-known reasons for the tolerance to the analgesic properties of Morphine. Additionally, the production of proxy-nitrite impairs receptors, proteins and enzymes involved in the signaling pathways of analgesia, apoptosis and necrosis. Also, we revised all patents relating to opioid tolerance control methods. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the effects of Alpha-tocopherol as an anti-oxidant agent to reduce Morphine tolerance. Method: Forty male rats randomly divided into four groups. 10 mg/kg of morphine was injected subcutaneously to create the desired level of tolerance. After modeling, 70 mg/kg Alpha- Tocopherol was injected intraperitoneal. Also, the hot plate recorded pain threshold alterations was used to evaluate the behavioral test. All tissue samples were extracted from the spinal cord, thalamus and frontal cortex for molecular and gene expression evaluations. Also, the effect of Alpha- Tocopherol on the apoptosis and necrosis parameters was analyzed using nissl staining and tunel test. </P><P> Results: The time latency results showed that there were no significant differences in the different days in groups treated with Morphine plus Alpha-Tocopherol. However, our data highlighted that the pain threshold and their time latency in respond to it had substantially increased in comparison with the control group. Furthermore, we found that the Alpha-Tocopherol obviously decreased c-fos gene expression, especially in the spinal cord. Conclusion: Thus, co-administration of Alpha-Tocopherol with Morphine can decrease the adverse effects of nitrite proxy, which is released due to repeated injections of Morphine.</P>

Abstract Background Retigabine belongs to the novel generation of antiepileptic drugs but its complex mechanism of action causes that the drug might be effective in other diseases, for instance, alcohol dependence. It is known that ethanol abuse impaired the function of brain structures associated with memory and learning such as the hippocampus. In our previous study, retigabine reduced hippocampal changes induced by ethanol in the EEG rhythms in rabbits. This study is focused on the impact of retigabine on memory processes in male rats receiving alcohol. Methods Memory was evaluated in various experimental models: Morris water maze, Contextual, and Cued Fear Conditioning tests. Retigabine was administered for 3 weeks directly to the stomach via oral gavage at a dose of 10 mg/kg. Rats received also 20% ethanol (5 g/kg/day in two doses) via oral gavage for 3 weeks and had free access to 5% ethanol in the afternoon and at night. Morris water maze was performed after 1 and 3 weeks of ethanol administration and after 1 week from the discontinuation of ethanol administration. Contextual and Cued Fear Conditioning tests were carried out after 24 h and 72 h of alcohol discontinuation. Results The drug significantly decreased ethanol-induced memory disturbances during alcohol administration as well as slightly improved learning processes after the discontinuation of ethanol administration. Conclusions This beneficial effect of retigabine-ethanol interaction on memory may be a relevant element of the drug’s impact on the development of addiction.

Background. There is a gender disparity in the incidence, prevalence, and progression of renal disease. The object of this paper is to evaluate the presence and type of renal lesion in normogonadic and hypogonadic male rats in a mild hyperuricemia induced condition and exposed to a high-fructose diet. Methods. 56 adult male Wistar rats were used. Animals were divided into two groups, one normogonadic (NGN) and one hypogonadic (HGN), and each group was divided into four subgroups in accordance with the treatment: control with only water (C), fructose (F), oxonic acid (OA), and fructose + oxonic acid (FOA). Renal changes were evaluated by measuring glomerulosclerosis, fibrosis, and arteriolar media/lumen (M/L) ratio.Results. The OA and FOA groups presented significantly hypertension (p<0.001). The OA group significantly increased (p<0.05) the percentage of glomerulosclerosis as well as the FOA group (p<0.001). When comparing NGN versus HGN, we observed a trend to a lower glomerulosclerosis in the latter. A higher arteriolar M/L ratio was observed in the OA (p<0.05) and FOA (p<0.001). Conclusion. Hyperuricemia conditions and a high-fructose diet favor blood pressure increase together with changes in the arteriolar media/lumen ratio and renal glomerular damage. These changes were more apparent in normogonadic animals.

Abstract Introduction Nowadays interest in aging has greatly increased, Aging is a complex natural process involving every molecule, cell, and organ in the body that is associated with tissue dysfunction in many organs. Aging of the cornea causes major eye effects and leads to substantial cost in medical and social terms. These effects include the highly prevalent dry eye disease (DED) that affects both visual function and quality of life in elderly. Symptoms of (DED) include, ocular pain, visual disturbances, and increase lacrimation. Functional foods such as Royal jelly (RJ) have a growing attention because of consumers increasing concerns about their health. Its importance not only for its nutritional properties but also for its functional and biological properties such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-ulcerous activities. It is used as a cheap natural source in daily life and medicine. (RJ) is a complex substance composed of proteins, sugars, lipids, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. Aim The present study aimed to investigate the histological effect of aging on the cornea of male albino rat and possible therapeutic role of (RJ) on senile group. Materials and Methods Twenty-four male albino rats were used in this study divided into Group I: consisted of 6 adult male rats aged 3- 6 months. Group II: consisted of 18 senile male rats aged 18-24 months, were further subdivided into three subgroups as follows: Group II A: (n = 6) negative control senile rats, not subjected to any procedure for 4 weeks. Group II B: (n = 6) control senile rats and were given distilled water by oral gavage once daily for 4 weeks. Group II C: (n = 6) senile rats were given (RJ) by oral gavage dissolved in distilled water once daily for 4 weeks. At the end of the experiment, rats were sacrificed after being deeply anesthetized with ether according to the protocol of the Committee of Animal Research Ethics (CARE). The cornea of each animal was carefully dissected out after death and immediately fixed in 10% formalin for preparation of paraffin blocks 5 micrometer thickness. Sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (I-I&E), Masson's trichrome and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS). Statistical analysis and quantitative morphometric study were done. Results Light microscopic examination of corneas of senile rats revealed different pathological changes included irregularity in the surface epithelium as well as surface erosions and cytoplasmic vacuolations. The stroma showed widely separated collagen fibers with decreased keratocyte density. It was concluded that (RJ) supplementation to senile rats obviously unproved all layers of the cornea histologically.
