Twenty-six male mice are divided into four groups as follows: group 1, control; group 2, Erdosteine-treated; group 3, Methotrexate (MTX)-treated; and group 4, Methotrexate+Erdosteine treated. On the first day of experiment, a single dose of Methotrexate is intraperitoneally administered to groups 3 and 4, although a daily single dose of Erdosteine is orally administered to group 2 and 4 for 7 days. At the end of the experiment, the testes of the animals are removed and weighed. The levels of total antioxidant capacity and total oxidative stress, and myeloperoxidase activity in the Methotrexate group are higher than the control group (p<0.05). Lipid peroxidation levels are not changed in Methotrexate group compared with control group. In conclusion, Erdosteine can effectively protect the testes in Methotrexate-induced toxicity. Erdosteine administration with Methotrexate improves testicular injures, as indicated by appearance of spermatogenesis in seminiferous tubules. |
