Beneficial role of naringin against methotrexate-induced injury to rat testes: biochemical and ultrastructural analyses.
Background: Methotrexate (MTX) is a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug that has adverse toxic effects on germ cells. Naringin (NG) is a natural flavanone glycoside, with different phytotherapeutic applications, and its possible protective effects against MTX-induced testicular tissue damage were investigated in this study.
Methods: Low and high doses of NG (40 and 80 mg/kg/day) were given for 10 days by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection and MTX (20 mg/kg i.p.) was given at the 4th day of the experiment, with or without NG in rats.
Results: The obtained results showed that exposure to MTX increased malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and nitric oxide (NO) production compared with the control. In the meantime, MTX depleted catalse (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and reduced glutathione (GSH) in the testicular tissue. Further, serum testosterone levels were significantly decreased in the MTX group. NG significantly counteracted the aforementioned effects of MTX; however, NG80 was more effective in restoring SOD, GR, MDA and NO. Interestingly, NG80 achieved a better improvement in the ultrastructural pattern of the testicular cells in MTX-exposed rats.
Conclusion: These results indicated, for the first time, that NG could be a potential candidate therapy against MTX-reprotoxic impacts.
期刊介绍：
Redox Report is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed open access journal focusing on the role of free radicals, oxidative stress, activated oxygen, perioxidative and redox processes, primarily in the human environment and human pathology. Relevant papers on the animal and plant environment, biology and pathology will also be included.
While emphasis is placed upon methodological and intellectual advances underpinned by new data, the journal offers scope for review, hypotheses, critiques and other forms of discussion.
