Testicular Deficiency Associated with Exposure to Cypermethrin, Imidacloprid, and Chlorpyrifos in Adult Rats by Reda K. Abdel-Razik; Eman M. Mosallam; Nadia A. Hamed; Mohamed E.I. Badawy; Mahmoud M. Abo-El-Saad is a Environmental Science article available to read on EtoBox.
What is Testicular Deficiency Associated with Exposure to Cypermethrin, Imidacloprid, and Chlorpyrifos in Adult Rats about?
The testicular deficiency associated with exposure to three widely used insecticides in Egyptian agriculture was evaluated. Animals were orally treated with sub-lethal dose (1/50 of the oral LD) of cypermethrin (CYP), imidacloprid (IMC), and chlorpyrifos (CPF) at 5, 9 and 1.9 mg/kg/day, respectively, five times a week for one month. The CYP, IMC, and CPF exposure resulted in a significant decline in animal body weight, sperm count, motility, normality, and viability with increased head and tail deformities. Significant reduction in serum testosterone, luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), testis superoxide dismutase (SOD), and reduced glutathione (GSH) levels. In contrast, catalase (CAT), lipid peroxidation (LPO), and protein carbonyl content (PCC) levels were significantly stimulated. Jointly, obtained results were confirmed by microscopic examination of testis sections. The present data concluded that the CYP, IMC, and CPF have a public health impact and violently interferes with male rat reproductive system.
