Potential role of vitamins in chromium induced spermatogenesis in Swiss mice.

Abstract:

:Chromium (Cr) (VI) compounds are known carcinogens and mutagens. The mechanism of carcinogenicity and mutagenicity caused by chromium(VI) compounds remained unclear for several years. However, in the recent past chromium-induced carcinogenicity and/or mutagenicity was known to happen due to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In the present context, chromic acid (CrO(3)), a potential Cr(VI) compound could be able to generate reactive oxygen radicals in the testes of Swiss mice as evidenced from significantly higher lipid peroxidation compared to untreated controls. The cytotoxic effects of the compound on the testes are depicted in terms of significantly reduced sperm count level accompanied with increased abnormal sperm population in treated mice. Supplementation of vitamins like Vitamin C and Vitamin E (Vit C and Vit E) to CrO(3) injected mice groups could partially prevent the incidence of abnormal sperm population and increased the sperm count. Of the two vitamins, taken for the study, Vit C happens to be more effective in ameliorating germ cells from degeneration and from mutation to abnormal sperm. Possible antioxidative role of both the vitamins have been studied for significant decrease in lipid peroxidation associated with marked elevation in sperm count level and significant decrease in the percentage of abnormal sperm formation in CrO(3)-treated mice.
