Abstract
Testicular changes after non fatal electrical injury.
Highlights
IntroductionApoptosis is a physiological process, which needs ATP (Resendes et al, 2004)
Electric shock can be used in treatment of fibrillation even in all types of irregular heart rhythm, which is called direct current cardioversion where electrical shock is delivered through chest wall to heart through special electrodes which is applied to the skin of the chest so it restore normal heart rhythm so repeated exposure to electric shock may affect body organs especially testis and ovary.Apoptosis is a physiological process, which needs ATP (Resendes et al, 2004)
Material and Methods Induction of electrical injury According to Wang et al, (2006), rats of the experimental groups were subjected to an electric current via an electrical energy transfer device consisted of a double copper cable with a pair of ends
Summary
Apoptosis is a physiological process, which needs ATP (Resendes et al, 2004). Apoptosis is necessary for normal spermatogenesis and oogenesis in mammalians and sustains cellular hemostasis. This physiological process conserves the equilibrium between sertoli cells and germ cells and even in cells of ovarian follicles (Said et al, 2004). The members of the caspase family play a key role in the regulation of the apoptosis in seminiferous tubules (Tres and Kierszenbaum, 1999). Previous studies showed that germ cells of testes died via apoptosis (Allan et al, 1992;)
