Abstract

Exposure to Arsenic Induces Histomorphological Alterations in Testis of Rabbits

Highlights

  • Various agricultural and industrial processes persistently release different synthetic compounds or waste materials into natural water bodies leading to deleterious effects on both public health and aquaticAsian J Agric & Biol. 2022(1).Riaz Hussain Pasha et al life (Sharaf et al, 2020; Ghaffar et al, 2020)

  • Chemical and biological contagion of drinking water has been documented all over the country (Tahir and Bhatti, 1994; Kahlown et al, 2004; Raza et al, 2017). Such contagion is accredited to effluence from sewage system, intermittent water supply, and shallow water tables, herbicides, floods, fungicides, untreated municipal waste are extremely hazardous for drinking water (Ghaffar et al, 2018; Hussain et al, 2020)

  • Due to continual nature and affinity to accumulate in organisms, heavy metals are considered as strong biological poisons (Kamble and Muley, 2000; Imran et al, 2020)

Summary

Introduction

Recent studies have reported arsenic poisoning as a massive epidemic in most of the globe and in Pakistan due to arsenic ground water contamination and toxicity (Malik et al, 2010; Samrana et al, 2017; Shaikh et al, 2018; Sohail et al, 2019). Keeping in view the persistent exposure of general population to arsenic through ground water in Pakistan (Shahid et al, 2017; Podgorski et al, 2017; Samrana et al, 2017; Shaikh et al, 2018; Sohail et al, 2019) and lack of significant male reproductive toxicity data on morphology of testis in the literature, current research plan was designed to investigate the histomorphometric and anatomical testicular tissue damage after induced arsenic poising in rabbits in the natural ecology of Pothohar area of Pakistan
