Abstract :
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of vitamin E on spermatogenic cell number in mice treated with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). Five experimental groups of a combination of TCDD and vitamin E were designed as follows: 0 ng/kg/d and 0 mg/kg/d (control negative group P0), 100 ng/kg/d and 0 mg/kg/d (control positive group, P1), 100 ng/kg/d and 11 mg/kg/d (Group P2), 100 ng/kg/d and 20 mg/kg/d (Group P3), and 100 ng/kg/d and 37 mg/kg/d (Group P4) respectively. Vitamin E and TCDD were given by oral gavage for 5 weeks. The results demonstrated that TCDD decreased spermatogenic cell number. vitamin E at 37 mg/kg antagonized the decline of spermatogenic cell number.The results indicate that vitamin E antagonizes the reproductive endocrine toxicity and alleviates the changes in spermatogenesis caused by TCDD.
