Combined Effects of Chrysin Supplementation and Exercise Training on Diabetes-Induced Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis in Rat Testicular Tissue by Shiva Cheraghi Abajlou, Asghar Tofighi, Javad Tolouei Azar, Amir Afshin Khaki, Mazdak Razi

“…Following 8 weeks, the histopathological changes (Johnson’s score, epithelial height,and tubular diameter), testicular malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase(GPX), and the mRNA levels of anti-apoptotic gene Bcl-2 and pro-apoptotic gene Bax was analyzed.Results: Chrysin solely and simultaneous with MIRET could remarkably (P=0.001) improve the DM-induced histopathologicaldamages, increase the testicular SOD and GPx levels, and decline the DM-increased MDA content.Moreover, our results showed that Chrysin solely and more simultaneously with MIRET could significantly (P=0.001)decrease the mRNA expression of Bax and improve the Bcl-2 expression and rebalance the Bax/Bcl-2 balance.Conclusion: Our findings showed that co-administration of Chrysin along with MIRET can significantly amelioratethe DM-induced histopathological, and biochemical impairments and reduce the pro-apoptotic impact of DMon testicular tissue.…”
