Abstract:
Testicular toxicity is a significant cause of male infertility. It may occur due to hormonal, nutritional, behavioral, and environmental imbalance. Moringa oleifera, on the other hand, is known to have antioxidant, antiinflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-hypertensive, anti-diabetic properties. This study assessed the ameliorative effect of Moringa oleifera leaves extract (M/MOLE) on melamine-induced testicular toxicity in rats. Fifty Sprague Dawley (8weeks old) male rats were randomly assigned to group 1 (control), group 2 ( Moringa oleifera leaves extract only), group 3 (administered melamine only), and group 4 (both melamine and M/MOLE). Melamine significantly decreased (P < 0.05) semen quality, testicular weight, gonadal-somatic index, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), free testosterone, total testosterone, and an expression of steroidogenic enzyme genes (CYP11A1 and HSD17B3). A concurrent administration of M/MOLE reversed the clinical impact of Melamine treatment (P < 0.05). Histopathological examination revealed an improvement in testicular tissue injury in concurrent M/MOLE treatment groups than the melamine group. In conclusion, MOLE was effective in improving the toxic effects of melamine on testicular tissue in rats.
