“…[222324] The consistent findings of the present study and other research on the sperm motility and viability may be explained by the cyclophosphamide antioxidant property and decreased serum levels of luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, and testosterone.…”

“…[19] Other studies also indicated that use of cyclophosphamide low doses in the long-term can decrease the weights of body and reproductive organs in male rats, cause atrophy in certain organs such as testicles and epididymis, and hence affect fertility rate. [151920212223]…”

“…[1922232425] The sperm cells capability of moving is considered a decisive and important factor for fertility and can ensure the process of insemination. The sperm motility is likely to decline when free radicals and the final products of lipids peroxidation increase in the culture medium.…”

“…The drugs dosage was obtained from the previous studies (Lu et al, 2015;Obay, Taşdemir, Tümer, Bilgin, & Atmaca, 2008). Animals were prepared from the animals' house of Tabriz Medical University and were kept under standard conditions (temperature 22-24°C with the light/dark cycle of 12 hrs).…”

“…Studies on animals show that treatment of male mice with CP results in damage to DNA, testis weight loss, oligospermia, and histological and biochemical changes in the testis and epididymis (Lu et al, 2015;Manda & Bhatia, 2003). However, based on the results of numerous studies, the administration of CP can impair the balance of free radicals in tissues and thus results in biochemical and physiological disorders caused by oxidative stress Lu et al, 2015). On the other hand, it is reported that the sensitivity of the post-meiotic cells to CP specifically is greater than other sexual cells (Hales et al, 2005).…”

Effect of ghrelin on total antioxidant capacity, lipid peroxidation, sperm parameters and fertility in mice against oxidative damage caused by cyclophosphamide

Cyclophosphamide is a drug used for chemotherapy and as an immune-suppressive in the organ transplantation. Despite its many clinical implications in the treatment of cancers, this drug has toxic effects on the reproductive system. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of ghrelin against the damages caused by cyclophosphamide. In this experimental study, 40 male mice were randomly divided into four groups: (i) control; (ii) cyclophosphamide; (iii) cyclophosphamide + ghrelin; and (iv) ghrelin. Cyclophosphamide (100 mg/kg body weight), once a week, and ghrelin (80 μg/kg body weight), daily, were administered intraperitoneally for 5 weeks. After 5 weeks, the epididymides were removed and the lipid peroxidation, total antioxidant capacity and sperm parameters were examined. The fertility rate was evaluated by performance in vitro fertilisation. In the mice exposed to cyclophosphamide, the number of spermatozoa and viability, as well as total antioxidant capacity, decreased significantly (p < .05). The increase in the abnormal sperm and MDA levels was observed (p < .05). In addition, the fertility rate decreased in this group, while the use of ghrelin significantly improved the above disorders in the treatment group (p < .05). The findings of this study showed that ghrelin attenuates negative effects caused by cyclophosphamide in the sperm parameters and enhances the fertility.
