Long-term effects of silver nanoparticles on reproductive activity of rabbit buck

Abstract: Using the rabbit as an animal model, this study evaluated the long-term effect of silver nanoparticles (NPs) administered intravenously (0.6 mg/kg bw) on reproductive activity and sperm quality. Semen analysis was performed by optical microscopy and sperm motility evaluation by computer assisted sperm analyzer (CASA). Mitochondria oxygen consumption, light and transmission electron microscopy of rabbit testis and ejaculated sperm were also carried out. Throughout the experiment NP-treated rabbits showed higher… Show more

“…The critical health effect study appropriate for deriving the pTI was determined to be an i. v. 28-day repeated-dose toxicity study in rats performed by Table 2). AgNPs were seen in the spermatids and ejaculated sperm; however, no effect was seen morphologically in the testes nor was libido, serum testosterone, sperm concentration or semen volume affected (Castellini et al, 2014). Although these supporting studies did not meet the Annapolis Accords criteria and not used to derive the pTI; the scientific merit of these studies were used in determining the level of uncertainty in deriving the pTI.…”

“…Wpływ nanomateriałów na płodność i zdrowie potomstwa nie został jak dotąd dokładnie przebadany. Pierwsze badania na zwierzętach wykazały, że nanocząstki projektowane, zaburzając proces spermatogenezy i obniżając parametry nasienia, wpływają na płodność męskich osobników [46][47][48][49]. Ponadto różne rodzaje nanocząstek -m.in.…”

“…Negatywny wpływ na rozrodczość u samców opisano również w badaniach na nowozelandzkich białych królikach, którym wstrzyknięto dożylnie nanosrebro w dawce 0,6 mg/kg m.c. (43). Wyniki badań wskazują, że nanocząstki docierały do jąder i wywoływały pogorszenie jakości nasienia (zmniejszenie ruchliwości plemników).…”

“…Wyniki badań wskazują, że nanocząstki docierały do jąder i wywoływały pogorszenie jakości nasienia (zmniejszenie ruchliwości plemników). U narażanych samców odnotowano wyższy poziom reaktywnych form tlenu (reactive oxygen species -ROS) w nasieniu oraz zmiany w budowie i funkcjach akrosomów oraz mitochondriów w plemnikach (43).…”
