dc.description.abstractBisphenol A is widely recognized as a significant toxic environmental contaminant globally, primarily due to its extensive industrial and commercial applications. The current study aimed to evaluate the potential of Coenzyme Q10, Carbon–60 fullerene and α–Lipoic Acid, which are known for their significant antioxidant capacity, to reduce the reproductive toxic effects induced by Bisphenol A in male rats. A total of sixty prepubertal male Sprague Dawley rats were assigned to eight experimental groups. The substances were applied by oral gavage at dose–adjusted levels, dissolved in olive oil and/or water, once per day for a duration of seven weeks. The rats were decapitated 24 hours subsequent to the final application thereafter blood and testicular tissues were taken for analysis. The exposure of Bisphenol A resulted in significant elevation in serum and testicular malondialdehyde level and significant reduction in the level of antioxidant enzymes. Epididymal sperm concentration and motility were considerably lower in the Bisphenol A–exposed group against the control group. Marked histopathological changes were evident in the testicular tissue, characterized by degeneration and a notable decrease in germinal cell. It was determined that administration of Coenzyme Q10 and α–Lipoic Acid significantly prevented Bisphenol A–induced oxidative stress and associated complications such as testicular dysfunction and the decreased epididymal sperm quality. In conclusion, Bisphenol A negatively affected the reproductive system biochemically, histologically and reproductively in male rats; Coenzyme Q10, Carbon-60 fullerene, and α–Lipoic Acid alleviated these negative effects.
dc.description.abstractEl bisfenol A está ampliamente reconocido como un importante contaminante tóxico del medio ambiente a nivel mundial, debido principalmente a sus amplias aplicaciones industriales y comerciales. El presente estudio pretendía evaluar el potencial de la coenzima Q10, el fullereno de carbono–60 y el ácido α–Lipoico, conocidos por su importante capacidad antioxidante, para reducir los efectos tóxicos reproductivos inducidos por el bisfenol A en ratas macho. Se asignó un total de sesenta ratas Sprague Dawley macho prepúberes a ocho grupos experimentales. Las sustancias se aplicaron por sonda oral a dosis ajustadas, disueltas en aceite de oliva y/o agua, una vez al día durante siete semanas. Las ratas fueron decapitadas 24 horas después de la última aplicación, tras lo cual se extrajeron sangre y tejidos testiculares para su análisis. La exposición al bisfenol A produjo una elevación significativa del nivel de malondialdehído sérico y testicular y una reducción significativa del nivel de enzimas antioxidantes. La concentración de espermatozoides en el epidídimo y su motilidad fueron considerablemente menores en el grupo expuesto al bisfenol en comparación al grupo control. Se evidenciaron marcados cambios histopatológicos en el tejido testicular, caracterizados por degeneración y una notable disminución de células germinales. Se determinó que la administración de coenzima Q10 y ácido α–Lipoico previno significativamente el estrés oxidativo inducido por el bisfenol A y las complicaciones asociadas, como la disfunción testicular y la disminución de la calidad del esperma epididimario. En conclusión, el bisfenol afectó negativamente al sistema reproductor desde el punto de vista bioquímico, histológico y reproductivo en ratas macho; la coenzima Q10, el fullereno de carbono–60 y el ácido α–Lipoico aliviaron estos efectos negativos.
