Abstract
The management of bacterial infections, especially trains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus observe in health care settings, has markedly improved with the introduction of established drugs but using newer nano-based formulations. This study investigates the effects of vancomycin-linoleic acid nanoparticles on testicular tissue in an experimental animal model. Twenty-five adult male Sprague-Dawley rats maintained at the Animal House of the Biomedical Resources Unit were assigned to five groups namely E - solid lipid nanoparticles; F - vancomycin solid lipid nanoparticle; G - linoleic acid nanoparticle; H - vancomycin linoleic acid; and A - control. Perturbations in seminal fluid parameters showed a reduced sperm count in groups F & G which was statistically significant (p < .05) but motility and morphology were not significant when compared to controls (A). Reduced testosterone levels were found in groups E, F and H but were not statistically significant (p > .05). There was also increased luteinizing hormone (LH) and decreased in follicular stimulating hormone (FSH) levels was statistically significant (p < .05). Hypoplasia, tubular atrophy and shrinkage were observed in histologic sections of the treated groups with basement membrane thickening. Vancomycin solid lipid nanoparticle and its constituents SLN and LA disrupted testicular morphometry and the hormonal milieu sufficient to potentially induce altered reproductive function.
期刊介绍：
Artificial Cells, Nanomedicine and Biotechnology covers the frontiers of interdisciplinary research and application, combining artificial cells, nanotechnology, nanobiotechnology, biotechnology, molecular biology, bioencapsulation, novel carriers, stem cells and tissue engineering. Emphasis is on basic research, applied research, and clinical and industrial applications of the following topics:artificial cellsblood substitutes and oxygen therapeuticsnanotechnology, nanobiotecnology, nanomedicinetissue engineeringstem cellsbioencapsulationmicroencapsulation and nanoencapsulationmicroparticles and nanoparticlesliposomescell therapy and gene therapyenzyme therapydrug delivery systemsbiodegradable and biocompatible polymers for scaffolds and carriersbiosensorsimmobilized enzymes and their usesother biotechnological and nanobiotechnological approachesRapid progress in modern research cannot be carried out in isolation and is based on the combined use of the different novel approaches. The interdisciplinary research involving novel approaches, as discussed above, has revolutionized this field resulting in rapid developments. This journal serves to bring these different, modern and futuristic approaches together for the academic, clinical and industrial communities to allow for even greater developments of this highly interdisciplinary area.
