Abstract:
understood. This work aims to identify the resveratrol influence on the altered reproductive function induced by forced exercise and to screen the relevant possible mechanisms. Methods: The study comprised control, forced exercise (FE), and resveratrol treatment groups carried out on a total of 24 adult male rats. After 8 weeks of the exercise, the pituitary and testicular hormones, corticosterone, tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), IL-6, epididymal sperm parameters, testicular oxidant–antioxidant markers, testicular ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity, polyamines, testicular histopathology, and immunohistochemistry for apoptotic reactions were all measured. Results: The FE group showed significant reductions in the pituitary and testicular hormones, sperm count, and motility, while corticosterone, TNFα, IL-6 serum levels, and aberrant forms of sperms were significantly increased. Testicular tissue displayed abnormal architecture, apoptotic changes with a significantly increased malondialdehyde level, ODC activity and polyamines, and a reduction in superoxide dismutase activity. In comparison to the FE group, administration of resveratrol significantly improved the gonadal hormones, corticosterone, TNF-α, IL-6 levels, sperm parameters, oxidant–antioxidant system, ODC activity, and polyamines with an enhancement of testicular architecture and apoptosis. Conclusion: Resveratrol was effective in attenuating tes
