Fenoxaprop-P-ethyl herbicide induces biochemical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical alterations in the kidneys and testes of rats
Background
Pesticide use, a global practice in agriculture, contributes to environmental contamination and poses significant health risks. This study investigates the impact of Fenoxaprop-P-ethyl (FPE), a chiral herbicide, on renal function and male fertility in albino rats.
Materials and methods
The study was conducted on 8-week-old male albino rats subjected to an experimental protocol as follows: the control group, a vehicle group, and two FPE-treated groups: one given 26 mg/kg and the other 157.5 mg/kg (1/20 LD₅₀) for 30 days. Blood samples were collected for biochemical analysis, and oxidative stress markers, comet assay assessment, histopathological examination, and immunohistochemical analysis were performed on renal and testicular tissues.
Results
The study shows that FPE-treated rats experience a dose-dependent increase in renal biomarkers, along with redox imbalance, and DNA damage, with kidney tissue alterations and increased expression of inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-alpha and fibrogenic marker transforming growth factor beta 1. Additionally, FPE-treated rats experience reduced sex hormones, along with redox imbalance, DNA damage, with testicular spermatogenic layer damage, and decreased proliferating cell nuclear antigen expression.
Conclusion
Sub-chronic exposure to FPE induces renal damage, inflammation, and fibrosis, accompanied by disruptions in male reproductive health. The study emphasizes the intricate relationship between oxidative stress, hormonal imbalance, and reproductive dysfunction.
期刊介绍:
Drawing from a large number of disciplines, Reproductive Toxicology publishes timely, original research on the influence of chemical and physical agents on reproduction. Written by and for obstetricians, pediatricians, embryologists, teratologists, geneticists, toxicologists, andrologists, and others interested in detecting potential reproductive hazards, the journal is a forum for communication among researchers and practitioners. Articles focus on the application of in vitro, animal and clinical research to the practice of clinical medicine.
All aspects of reproduction are within the scope of Reproductive Toxicology, including the formation and maturation of male and female gametes, sexual function, the events surrounding the fusion of gametes and the development of the fertilized ovum, nourishment and transport of the conceptus within the genital tract, implantation, embryogenesis, intrauterine growth, placentation and placental function, parturition, lactation and neonatal survival. Adverse reproductive effects in males will be considered as significant as adverse effects occurring in females. To provide a balanced presentation of approaches, equal emphasis will be given to clinical and animal or in vitro work. Typical end points that will be studied by contributors include infertility, sexual dysfunction, spontaneous abortion, malformations, abnormal histogenesis, stillbirth, intrauterine growth retardation, prematurity, behavioral abnormalities, and perinatal mortality.
