چکیده مقاله:
Background: Wheat germ oil (WGO) as one of the nature s best sources of vitamin E is known for its antioxidant properties. This study was undertaken to explore the possible protective effects of WGO on epididymal sperm motility in male mice exposed to carbon tetrachloride (CCL4).Methods: Forty-eight adult male mice were randomly categorized into 6 equal groups (n = 8) including untreated control, CCL4 (50%, 1 mL/kg; IP), CCl4 + WGO (250 mg/kg; PO), CCl4 + WGO (500 mg/kg; PO), WGO (250 mg/kg; PO) and WGO (500 mg/kg; PO). Epididymal sperm motility of all animals was examined after 28 days.Result: Significant sperm motility reduction was observed in CCL4-treated mice in comparison with control ones. Remarkably, WGO co-treatment in mice led to considerable sperm motility increase compared to CCL4-exposed mice. These findings suggest that WGO as a potent cyto-protective compound can suppress CCL4-induced asthenozoospermia in mice.Conclusion: WGO improved adverse effects of oxidative stress on asthenozoospermia.
