Abstract

Objectives: The present study aims to investigate the effects of resistance training on sex hormones and sperm parameters in male rats under X-ray.

Methods: In this experimental study, 24 Sprague Dawley rats (200-250 g) were randomly assigned into four groups: healthy control, irradiated control, healthy training and irradiated training. Irradiation was induced at a dose of 4 Gy on the whole body. The resistance training protocol was performed for 10 weeks. Finally, blood serum was used to assess FSH, LH and testosterone and sperm quality. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc test.

Results: The results showed that radiation significantly reduced serum levels of LH (p=0.42), FSH (p=0.001) and testosterone (p=0.28) between radiation control and healthy control groups. Also, no significant difference was observed between serum levels of LH (p=0.135) and testosterone (p=0.419) in radiation resistance training and the healthy control groups. In addition, significant differences were observed between radiation resistance training and radiation control groups in sperm parameters such as sperm count (p=0.02) and progressively motile sperm (p=0.031).

Conclusions: It seems that short-term resistance training can improve sperm parameters, including sperm count and sperm motility through increasing serum levels testosterone and LH in male rat under X-ray.

x射线照射下抗阻训练对雄性大鼠性激素水平和精子质量的影响。

目的:探讨x线下抗阻训练对雄性大鼠性激素和精子参数的影响。方法:选取24只(200 ~ 250 g) sd大鼠，随机分为健康对照组、辐照对照组、健康训练组和辐照训练组。全身照射剂量为4gy。阻力训练方案进行10周。最后用血清测定FSH、LH、睾酮和精子质量。数据分析采用方差分析和Tukey事后检验。结果:辐射显著降低了辐射对照组和健康对照组血清LH (p=0.42)、FSH (p=0.001)和睾酮(p=0.28)水平。抗辐射训练组与健康对照组血清LH (p=0.135)和睾酮(p=0.419)水平无显著差异。此外，抗辐射训练组与辐射对照组在精子数量(p=0.02)和精子活动度(p=0.031)等精子参数上也存在显著差异。结论:短期抗阻训练似乎可以通过提高x线下雄性大鼠血清睾酮和LH水平来改善精子参数，包括精子数量和精子活力。

期刊介绍： Hormone Molecular Biology and Clinical Investigation (HMBCI) is dedicated to the provision of basic data on molecular aspects of hormones in physiology and pathophysiology. The journal covers the treatment of major diseases, such as endocrine cancers (breast, prostate, endometrium, ovary), renal and lymphoid carcinoma, hypertension, cardiovascular systems, osteoporosis, hormone deficiency in menopause and andropause, obesity, diabetes, brain and related diseases, metabolic syndrome, sexual dysfunction, fetal and pregnancy diseases, as well as the treatment of dysfunctions and deficiencies. HMBCI covers new data on the different steps and factors involved in the mechanism of hormone action. It will equally examine the relation of hormones with the immune system and its environment, as well as new developments in hormone measurements. HMBCI is a blind peer reviewed journal and publishes in English: Original articles, Reviews, Mini Reviews, Short Communications, Case Reports, Letters to the Editor and Opinion papers. Ahead-of-print publishing ensures faster processing of fully proof-read, DOI-citable articles.
