Abstract
Acrylamide is toxic compound, which has negative impact on reproductive system. This study aimed to evaluate the ameliorating effect of naringin against testicular damage induced by acrylamide in rats. In this study, 70 adult male rats were divided into 7 groups. G1 in which rats didn’t receive any treatment. G2 in which rats were orally received naringin (80 mg/Kg). G3 included rats were injected with Epifasi (100 UI/Kg). G4 included rats were injected with acrylamide (50 mg/Kg). G5, G6 and G7 included acrylamide injected rats then each rat was received (naringin, Epifasi, naringinin + Epifasi), respectively. Testosterone, estradiol, prolactin, semen analysis, the antioxidant parameter, the apoptosis and autophagy parameter were estimated. The results showed that acrylamide reduced testosterone, sperm count and increased estradiol and prolactin level. Acrylamide disrupted redox hemostasis balance, increased both apoptotic and autophagy marker. Treated rats in G5 and G6 showed significant regression in the measured hormones, the antioxidant parameters, apoptotic and autophagy markers. These results confirmed that combined treatment of naringenin and Epifasi in G7 gave the best recovery of toxic effect of acrylamide on biochemical and histological analysis via hormonal disturbance recovery, reliving the cellular redox homeostasis, promoting the anti-apoptotic factor and inhibition of autophagy pathway.
