Resumo: | Aluminum is the third most abundant metal in the earth's crust and has no known biological function. Brazil (2005) determines that an acceptable daily intake of 0.02 mg/L of aluminum in fresh water, but there are no reports on the effects of chronic ingestion of this concentration on the male reproductive system. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate morphological parameters and fertility in rats exposed to different concentrations of aluminum in the form of aluminum chloride. Were used 60 Wistar rats were divided into five groups (G, n = 12 animals / G) receiving daily distilled water (G1), low concentrations of aluminum as aluminum chloride (0.02 and 0.1 mg / L Al, respectively for G2 and G3) and high concentrations (10 and 40mg/Kg respectively for G4 and G5), all administered by gavage for 112 days. The animals were euthanized at two times: in 113 days (30 animals) and 121 days (30 animals) of the experimental period. Fragments of testis and epididymis were fixed and processed for light microscopy, the sperm were collected from cauda epididymis and for the kinetic analyzes of sperm motility and membrane integrity and sperm concentration and serum testosterone were measured in plasma two moments of this work, besides the test fertility in animals of 121 days. There were no changes in histology of organs analyzed, except for cytoplasmic vacuolation in prismatic cells in the region of the body of all animals treated. No differences were observed between groups for most of the morphometric analyzes, testicular and epididymal, and in treated animals (113 days) there was a decrease in the volume and diameter of the nucleus of Leydig cells. The total motility decreased only in the treatment of animals euthanized in 40mg/Kg 113th day. Exposure to aluminum led to a reduction in structural integrity of sperm membranes. In animals with high concentrations of aluminum observed reduction in fertility rate and the number of pups per litter in the group receiving 40mg/Kg aluminum. The testosterone concentration was lower in treated animals analyzed in 113 days, with no difference between groups at 121º day. The findings suggest that exposure to low concentrations of aluminum can alter reproductive parameters as reduced sperm membrane integrity and reduction in serum concentration of testosterone. That was, chronic exposure to low concentrations of aluminum caused some changes in reproductive parameters, which can cause problems in male fertility. |

Portanto, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar parâmetros morfológicos e de fertilidade de ratos expostos a diferentes concentrações de alumínio. Foram utilizados 60 ratos Wistar, distribuídos em cinco grupos (G; n=12 animais/G), recebendo diariamente água destilada (C), baixas concentrações de alumínio (Al) na forma de cloreto de alumínio (0,02 e 0,1mg/L Al) e altas concentrações (10 e 40mg/Kg Al), todas administradas por gavagem durante 112 dias. Os animais foram eutanasiados em dois momentos: no 113º dia (n=30) e no 121º dia (n=30) do período experimental. Fragmentos de testículo e epidídimo foram fixados e processados para microscopia de luz nos dois momentos experimentais, assim como foi coletado sangue, para dosagem de testosterona sérica, e espermatozoides da cauda do epidídimo, para realização de avaliações espermáticas. Realizou-se o teste de fertilidade por monta natural no grupo de animais do 121º dia. Não foram encontradas alterações histológicas dos órgãos reprodutores analisados, excetuando-se vacuolizações citoplasmáticas nas células prismáticas da região do corpo do epidídimo de todos os animais tratados. Não foram observadas diferenças entre os grupos para a maior parte das análises morfométricas, testiculares e epididimárias, sendo que os animais tratados e eutanasiados no 113º dia apresentaram diminuição no volume e no diâmetro do núcleo das células de Leydig. A motilidade total reduziu apenas nos animais tratados com 40mg/Kg Al por 112 dias. A exposição ao alumínio levou a redução na integridade estrutural das membranas espermáticas nos animais avaliados nos dois momentos experimentais. Observou-se redução da taxa de fertilidade nos animais que receberam altas concentrações de alumínio, sendo que no grupo que recebeu 40mg/Kg Al observou-se redução no número de filhotes por parto. A concentração de testosterona foi menor nos animais tratados, analisados no 113º dia, não havendo diferença entre os grupos ao 121º dia. Os resultados sugerem que a ingestão de alumínio por via oral apresenta menor efeito desse metal nos tecidos, quando comparada a outras vias de administração. No entanto, ainda assim, a exposição a baixas concentrações de alumínio causaram alterações nos parâmetros reprodutivos avaliados, influenciando negativamente a fertilidade.application/pdfporUniversidade Federal de ViçosaMestrado em Biologia Celular e EstruturalUFVBRAnálises quantitativas e moleculares do Genoma; Biologia das células e dos tecidosMorfometriaEstereologiaEspermatozoidesMorphometryStereologySpermCNPQ::CIENCIAS BIOLOGICAS::BIOLOGIA GERALEfeito do alumínio sobre parâmetros morfológicos testiculares e epididimários e de fertilidade em ratos wistarAluminum effect on morphologic parameters of testis and epididymis and fertility of wistar ratsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:LOCUS Repositório Institucional da UFVinstname:Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV)instacron:UFVORIGINALtexto completo.pdfapplication/pdf2497005https://locus.ufv.br//bitstream/123456789/2360/1/texto%20completo.pdf557a40118bc29333f66c455cf98f7c6bMD51TEXTtexto completo.pdf.txttexto completo.pdf.txtExtracted texttext/plain213732https://locus.ufv.br//bitstream/123456789/2360/2/texto%20completo.pdf.txt8fe92b880d58cddc2efb788fd3b8f5abMD52THUMBNAILtexto completo.pdf.jpgtexto completo.pdf.jpgIM Thumbnailimage/jpeg3584https://locus.ufv.br//bitstream/123456789/2360/3/texto%20completo.pdf.jpgcfa9cc73aa8dd2e0c909af8552bcb7b6MD53123456789/23602016-04-08 23:06:24.864oai:locus.ufv.br:123456789/2360Repositório InstitucionalPUBhttps://www.locus.ufv.br/oai/requestfabiojreis@ufv.bropendoar:21452016-04-09T02:06:24LOCUS Repositório Institucional da UFV - Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV)false |
