Abstract:
:Psychological stress is a known aetiology of infertility. However, the mechanisms translating it to reproductive dysfunction are not fully elucidated. Three experiments were performed on Wistar rats were designed to evaluate Sertoli cell function under stress. In Experiment I, rats were randomised into three groups: saline baseline group given saline, ASEMA baseline group given aqueous extract of Massularia acuminata, zinc baseline group administered zinc orally. In Experiment II, exposure to psychological stress (for 1 hour per day) was layered on Experiment I while Experiment III substituted stress with administration of dexamethasone (DX). Six rats were sacrificed per group per experiment on days 7 and 14 and the right testis was excised and processed for PAS-haematoxylin staining and the left used for Zn determination. Results show significantly lower testicular Zn level as well more intensely immunoexpression of p53 in saline stress and saline DX groups compared with other groups. Also seen are the presence of residual bodies in the seminiferous tubular lumen of saline groups in Experiments II and III suggesting failure of residual bodies to be transported back towards the basement membrane. This study demonstrates that psychological stress impairs the ability of Sertoli cells to recycle residual bodies.
