Effect of Eight Weeks of Endurance Training on Some Oxidant and Antioxidant Indicators of Testicular Tissue of Diabetic Rats with Acute Morphine Withdrawal Syndrome

Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes along with morphine causes many metabolic damages in the testicles by causing oxidative stress. This study aimed to reduce the oxidative effects caused by diabetes and morphine on the fertility quality of men with the help of increasing moderate intensity aerobic exercise. Methods: 32 male Wistar rats were used in this experimental study. Mice were randomly divided into 4 groups of 8: diabetes control (D), morphine diabetes (D. M), diabetes + endurance training (D+ ET), diabetes + morphine endurance training (D. M+ ET). Then induction of diabetes and morphine was done. The training groups performed 8 weeks of endurance training protocol. At the end of the study, all mice were killed and their testis tissue was isolated. The oxidant and antioxidant indices of this study were measured. Data were analyzed by SPSS software version 16 using one-way ANOVA at a significant level of 0.05. Results: The results showed that the concentration of MDA in the diabetes group had a significant increase compared to other groups (P=0.001). However, increasing endurance training caused a significant decrease in the concentration of MDA (P=0. 001) and a significant increase in the amount of TAC, GPX and SOD (P=0. 001) in other groups compared to the diabetes group. Conclusion: The present research showed that increasing endurance training with moderate intensity caused a decrease in the oxidant index and an increase in the antioxidant index in the testicular tissue of diabetic rats with withdrawal syndrome. And this shows the reduction of infertility complications in mice.
