Abstract
Ameliorative Effect of Vitamin C against Monosodium Glutamate Induced Toxicity on Testes and Cauda Epididymal Sperm Reserves in Adult Male Albino Rats
Highlights
A variety of environmental chemicals, industrial pollutants and food additives have been implicated as causing harmful effects (Moore, 2003)
There was no significant difference of the mean values of the initial body weight between all the studied groups
Calcium ion influx into cells accompanies cell injury caused by a variety of stimuli, including oxidative stress and calcium appears to be involved in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS)
Summary
A variety of environmental chemicals, industrial pollutants and food additives have been implicated as causing harmful effects (Moore, 2003). Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a commonly used food enhancer which causes a wide range of endocrinal disorders including reduced fertility rate in both sexes. This work was carried out to study the possible ameliorative effect of vitamin C on monosodium glutamate induced testicular toxicity in adult male albino rats. Group IV (20 rats) was subdivided into two subgroups and received both MSG and vitamin C in their previous doses. Results: There was a significant increase in the body weight (p
