Full textThe glyphosate-Roundup is a widely pesticide used in several culturas agrícolas. Its reproductive toxicity is associated to inhibition of StAR protein and aromatase enzime that cause in vitro significantly reduction in testosterone and estradiol production. The objective of this study was to evaluate the in vivo effects of inhibition of StAR protein and aromatase enzyme, using prepubertal male Wistar rats like experimental model. 68 animals were exposed once a day by gavage to glyphosate-Roundup in following doses: 0, 5, 50 or 250 mg/kg of body weight. The end points were puberty progression, body development, testosterone, estradiol and corticosterona productions and testicular and adrenal morphology, renal and liver function and histopatology. The statistical analysis used were one-way ANOVA, multi-way ANOVA or Kruskall-Walis and posthoc tests of Tukey-Kramer, Fisher or Dun. The herbicide glyphosate-Roundup changed significantly the puberty progression in dose-dependent manner, as well reduction in testosterone production and alterations in testicular morphology. There were not observed alterations in adrenal morphology or corticosterone production in the doses used in this study. The renal function and histopatology were altered in treated groups while liver function wasn\'t. The body development was not influenced by the exposure. In conclusion, glyphosate-Roundup is a potent endocrine disruptor in vivo that cause problems in reproductive development and hormonal synthesis in exposure animals.

Full textThe aim of this study is to be the first to ascertain the effects of silver nanoparticles on testosterone production. The Ag NPs used for this study have the following characteristics; purity ≥ 99.5%; 66.7 % of particles have a diameter between 20-40 nm in aqueous solution. Three month old male Balb/C mice were sacrificed and testicular cell cultures were prepared. The cells were subsequently treated with various concentrations of Ag NPs (with or without luteinizing hormone (LH)-treatment) and incubated for 4 hours. Testosterone secretion in the culture supernantant was then determined using a testosterone ELISA kit. Ag NPs (at 20 μg/ml) significantly (p < 0.001) decreased LH-stimulated testosterone production as compared to the control. This study showed that Ag NPs adversely affect testosterone synthesis in vitro and can therefore pose a risk for male reproduction.

Full textFxrα is the bile acid nuclear receptor, predominantly expressed in liver, intestine, kidney and adrenal glands. In recent years, interest in Fxrα has been increasing due to its central role in the control of cholesterol, bile acids, triglycerides or glucose homeostasis. More recently, Fxrα and its ligands, bile acids, have been detected in the testis pointing out its potential involvement in this tissue and more widely in the male reproductive functions. However, the few studies on this topic focused essentially on Fxrα involvement in the control of steroids metabolism. Indeed, activation of Fxrα in vivo with a synthetic agonist leads to short-term steroidogenesis repression in the adult. In vivo the impact of alteration of Fxrα signaling on the global testis physiology has never been explored so far. Such studies would be pertinent considering that Fxrα is a target for the treatment of metabolic diseases such as dyslipidemia or diabetes. In this context, the aim of my work was to study the implication of Fxrα in testis physiology and physiopathology by analyzing a knock out mouse model for Fxrα. Our results show that: 1) the loss of Fxrα increase germ cell mortality in the testis in a disease context of cholestasis ; 2) over-activation of Fxrα signaling during puberty leads to germ cell differentiation defects, associated with an alteration of testis endocrine function ; 3) besides steroidogenesis control in Leydig cell, Fxrα is involved in Sertoli cell functions and spermatogonial stem cell proliferation and/or differentiation. Taken together, these data define Fxrα as a new actor involved in the control of testis physiology, and should be taken into consideration regarding the use of Fxrα agonistic or antagonistic ligands for the treatment of metabolic diseases

Summary Ketoconazole (KCZ) is an imidazole antifungal agent. According to the inhibitory effect of KCZ on steroid hormones biosynthesis, our laboratory utilized the adult male dogs and MA-10 mouse Leydig tumor cells for investigating the possible mechanism of causing androgen deficiency by KCZ. The male dogs were orally administrated with 30 mg KCZ/ kg of body weight/day for a week for detecting the changes of serum steroid hormones production. A single oral dose of 30 mg KCZ/ kg of body weight was also administered to other male dogs and followed by 24-hour observation. Another male dogs with normal response to human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) were orally administered with 10 mg KCZ/ kg of body weight and (30 mg KCZ /kg of body weight, respectively. Thereafter, the effects of different-dose KCZ on male dog’s testosterone production and its response to hCG stimulation were also investigated. The results indicated that KCZ inhibited the conversion from progesterone to testosterone and cortisol in male dogs. Meanwhile, KCZ exerted temporary inhibition on testosterone biosynthesis within 24 hours in male dogs. In addition, the significant difference between dosages on the effects of KCZ treatment on testosterone secretion in male dogs was observed. However, the effect of KCZ treatment on testosterone response to hCG stimulation between dosages was not significant. Moreover, the effects of KCZ on secretion of progesterone and cAMP in MA-10 cells were investigated in vitro. These data indicated that KCZ induced the inhibition of a catalytic component of adenylate cyclase holoenzyme in MA-10 cells. Excepting the selective inhibition of cytochrome P-450 enzymes and competitive binding of androgen receptors by KCZ, we concluded the block of adenylate cyclase activity by KCZ was another possible mechanism to inhibit testicular testosterone secretion.
