Abstract
Background: The aim of this study was to compare the effect of vegetable oils and animal oils on the reproductive system of male rats.
Methods: This study was a random and observational study conducted on 36 male rats with the age of 6 weeks weighing 200 ± 20 grams. Different groups were fed by sesame oil, suet oil, rapeseed oil and animal butter. The control group was fed by standard food used normally to feed animals in the laboratories. At the end of six weeks, testosterone level changes and weight changes were compared among different groups. Data were analyzed by SPSS-IBM version 16.
Result: Weight changes among groups did not show a dramatic statistical difference (P = .571 > 0.005). Average weight in control group was 202 and about the male rats fed by 10% of animal butter and by sesame oil were 206.5 and 99, respectively. Weight changes among groups were significant (P value = 0.005 > 0.0004). The average testosterone level in the control group was 2.4. This value in the different groups fed by 10% oils, the maximum was 12.2 and the minimum was 1.35 assigned to animal butter and rapeseed oil, respectively. So we concluded that using 10% of different oils causes an increase in testosterone level (P value = 0.001 > 0.05). The maximum testosterone level was 3.6 in the rapeseed 20% group and lowest 0.45 in the sesame 20% group.
Conclusion: We found that animal oil-containing diet has no significant harmful effect on male rat reproductive system in comparison with plant oils.
期刊介绍:
Clinical and Experimental Hypertension is a reputable journal that has converted to a full Open Access format starting from Volume 45 in 2023. While previous volumes are still accessible through a Pay to Read model, the journal now provides free and open access to its content. It serves as an international platform for the exchange of up-to-date scientific and clinical information concerning both human and animal hypertension. The journal publishes a wide range of articles, including full research papers, solicited and unsolicited reviews, and commentaries. Through these publications, the journal aims to enhance current understanding and support the timely detection, management, control, and prevention of hypertension-related conditions.
One notable aspect of Clinical and Experimental Hypertension is its coverage of special issues that focus on the proceedings of symposia dedicated to hypertension research. This feature allows researchers and clinicians to delve deeper into the latest advancements in this field.
The journal is abstracted and indexed in several renowned databases, including Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes News (Online), Reactions Weekly (Online), CABI, EBSCOhost, Elsevier BV, International Atomic Energy Agency, and the National Library of Medicine, among others. These affiliations ensure that the journal's content receives broad visibility and facilitates its discoverability by professionals and researchers in related disciplines.
