چکیده مقاله :

واریکوسل یکی از مهم‌ترین دلایل ناباروری در مردان است که علاوه بر تأثیر منفی بر اسپرماتوژنز، می‌تواند بر سیستم غدد درون‌ریز نیز تأثیر بگذارد. ارتباط بین واریکوسل و تولید تستوسترون مشخص نیست. کبد یکی از اندام‌های مؤثر در متابولیسم مواد و هورمون‌ها است. هدف از این مطالعه بررسی سطح تستوسترون سرم و ارتباط آن با تغییرات آنزیمی کبد بود. 50 سر رت نر نژاد ویستار به 5 گروه شامل کنترل، شم، القای واریکوسل، القای واریکوسل (50 میلی‌گرم بر کیلوگرم کورکومین) القای واریکوسل (100میلی‌گرم بر کیلوگرم کورکومین) تقسیم‌بندی شدند. پس ‌از دوره تیمار، سطح آهن (Fe2+)، تستوسترون، بیلی‌روبین نوع مستقیم (D)، بیلی‌روبین کل (T) و غلظت سرمی آلانین آمینو ترانسفراز (ALT)، آسپارتات آمینوترانسفراز (AST) ارزیابی شد و بافت کبد جداشده و موردبررسی قرار گرفت. واریکوسل موجب افزایش معنی‌دار سطح آهن (05/0 ≥ p)، کاهش غیر معنی‌دار سطح‌ تستوسترون (242/0=p) و بیلی‌روبین توتال (639/0= p) شد. درمان با کورکومین منجر به کاهش غیر معنی‌داری در سطح آهن (056/0=p ) و بیلی‌روبین توتال (639/0= p)، همچنین افزایش غیر معنی‌دار در سطح‌ تستوسترون (05/0< p) نسبت به واریکوسل شد، درحالی‌که سطح بیلی‌روبین مستقیم (05/0≥ p) در واریکوسل افزایش معنی‌داری نسبت به شم و کنترل نشان داد. استفاده از کورکومین باعث کاهش معنی‌دار آن نسبت به واریکوسل شد (03/0 = p). ارزیابی سطح ALT(762/0=p ) و AST (367/0=p ) اختلاف معنی‌داری در بین گروه‌ها نشان نداند. واریکوسل بر سطح آهن، تستوسترون، بیلی‌روبین و آنزیم‌های کبدی تأثیر منفی دارد. کورکومین علاوه بر مهار آسیب‌های ناشی از واریکوسل در بافت بیضه، قادراست تا اثرات مخرب واریکوسل را بر روی مؤلفه‌های بیوشیمیایی مرتبط با بافت کبد کاهش دهد. عصاره کورکومین در دوزهای بالاتر می‌تواند منجر به کاهش آنزیم کبدی AST دررت های واریکوسلی گردد.

چکیده انگلیسی:

Varicocele is one of the most important causes of infertility in men, which in addition to negatively affecting spermatogenesis, can also affect the endocrine system. The link between varicocele and testosterone production is unclear. The liver is one of the most effective organs in the metabolism of substances and hormones. This study aimed to evaluate serum testosterone levels and their association with liver enzymatic changes. Fifty male Wistar rats were divided into 5 groups, including sham control, varicocele induction, varicocele induction (50 mg/kg curcumin), and varicocele induction (100 mg / kg curcumin). After the treatment period, iron (Fe2 +), testosterone, direct bilirubin, total bilirubin and serum concentrations of ALT, and AST were assessed and liver tissue was isolated and examined. Varicocele caused a significant increase in iron levels (p ≤ 0.05) and a non-significant decrease in testosterone levels (p = 0.242) and total bilirubin (T) (p = 0.639). The treatment resulted in a significant decrease in the levels of iron (p = 0.056) and total bilirubin (p = 0.639), as well as a significant increase in testosterone levels (p < 0.05) compared to the varicocele. While the level of direct bilirubin (p ≥ 0.05) in the varicocele showed a significant increase compared to the sham and control. Using curcumin significantly reduced it compared to the varicocele (p = 0.03). Evaluation of ALT (p = 0.762) and AST (p = 0.367) levels did not show a significant difference among the groups. The levels of iron, testosterone, bilirubin, and liver enzymes are negatively affected by varicocele. Curcumin may lessen the harmful effects of varicocele on biochemical components linked with liver tissue in addition to preventing varicocele damage to testicular tissue. In varicocele rats, greater dosages of curcumin may lower the liver enzyme AST.
