چکیده مقاله :
کلسترول بالابا تولید رادیکال‌های آزاد و ایجاد تنش اکسیداتیو باعث ناباروری در جنس نر می‌شود. هدف از انجام مطالعه حاضر، بررسی اثرات عصاره گیاه تشنه‌داری (striata Scrophularia ) بر تغییرات هیستومورفومتری بافت بیضه در موش های صحرائی تغذیه شده با رژیم پرکالری بود.بدین منظور، تعداد 32 سر موش صحرایی نر بالغ نژاد ویستار به ۴ گروه شاهد (جیره معمول)، هایپرکلسترولمیک (۸ هفته جیره پر چرب)، هایپرکلسترولمیک+عصاره تشنه‌داری (۴ هفته جیره پر چرب+ ۴ هفته جیره پر چرب همراه با عصاره تشنه‌داری به میزانmg/kg ۴۰۰) و گروه عصاره تشنه‌داری (۴ هفته جیره معمول + ۴ هفته عصاره تشنه‌داری به میزانmg/kg ۴۰۰) تقسیم شدند. در پایان دوره، موش‌ها با ترکیب کتامین-زایلازین بیهوش شدند و پس اخذ خون از قلب، جهت اندازه‌گیری سطح کلسترول سرم خون، آسان‌کشی شده و بیضه راست جهت تهیه لام بافتی و مطالعه هیستومورفومتری به آزمایشگاه بافت‌شناسی منتقل گردید. یافته ها مشخص نمود که پس از مصرف جیره پرکالری درگروه هایپرکلسترولمیک ، وزن بدن، وزن بیضه و سطح کلسترول خون نسبت به گروه شاهد، افزایش معنی‌داری پیدا کرده است (05/0p <). همچنین شاخص‌های فوق در گروه هایپرکلسترولمیک + عصاره تشنه‌داری ، نسبت به گروه هایپرکلسترولمیک ، کاهش معنی‌داری را نشان داد (05/0p <). ازطرف دیگر، مصرف جیره پرچرب باعث کاهش تعداد سلول‌های اسپرماتوگونی، اسپرماتوسیت اولیه، اسپرماتید و اسپرماتوزوئید در گروه هایپرکلسترولمیک شد که پس از مصرف عصاره مذکور، افزایش نسبی در تعداد سلول‌های فوق در گروه هایپرکلسترولمیک+ عصاره تشنه‌داری مشاهده گردید (05/0p <).نتایج مطالعه حاضر نشان داد که مصرف عصاره گیاه تشنه‌داری، به دنبال جیره پرکالری، می‌تواند در بافت بیضه موش صحرائی، اثراتمحافظتی داشته باشد.
چکیده انگلیسی:
Hypercholesterolemia can caused infertility with producing side effects such as the production of free radicals.One of these useful herbal remedies Scrophularia striata which native name is Tashnehdari.This study aimed to investigate the effect of Scrophularia striata extracts on histomorphometric changes of testicular tissue in rats fed a high-calorie diet. In this experimental study, 32 male rats were assigned into 4 groups including control, diet induced hypercholesterolemia (DIH), DIH+S. striata (400 mg/kg) and S.striata group: The animals in this group first received a normal diet for 4 weeks and then were fed with the extract of Scrophularia striata (400 mg /kg) for 4 weeks by the above method. At the end of the period, the rats were first anesthetized with a ketamine-xylazine combination, and after taking blood from the heart to measure blood cholesterol levels, it was euthanized and the right testicles of all animals were isolated and transferred to a tissue laboratory for tissue smear preparation and histomorphometric study. Data were analyzed by SPSS16. The results showed that after consuming a high-calorie diet in the DIH group, body weight, testicular weight, and blood cholesterol level increased significantly compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Also consuming a high-fat diet reduces the number of spermatogonia, primary spermatocytes, and spermatozoid in the DIH groups. After consuming Scrophularia striata, a relative increase in the number of the above cells was observed in the DIH + Scrophularia striata group (p < 0.05). Therefore, oral consumption of Scrophularia striata following a high-calorie diet can have a protective effects
