Abstract
The present article sought to evaluate the impact of curcumin-loaded superparamagnetic iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles (NPs) on the histological variables and apoptotic agents in adult male rats after 3-weeks of methylphenidate (MPH) oral administration (20 mg/kg) versus vehicle therapy on the testis. Twenty-four male rats have been categorized randomly into four groups, in which Group 1 has been chosen as the controls, and Group 2 has been a vehicle and taken the sesame oil as curcumin carrier. Moreover, Group 3 has been taken MPH (20 mg/kg by gavage for 21 consecutive days). Group 4 received MPH plus Curcumin nanoparticles (5.4 mg/100 g) for twenty-one consecutive days. Then, testis histology, apoptosis as well as stereology have been examined. According to the examinations, curcumin nanoparticles are significantly capable of improving the sperms and stereological variables; for example, round spermatid and Leydig cells by enhancing the level of the serum testoster one in comparison with the MPH and vehicle groups. Besides, it was found that the gene expression in inflammation pathways and apoptosis genes largely diminished in the treatment group by curcumin nanoparticles in comparison with the MPH and vehicle groups, also we observed considerable differences for the weight of testes between the examined groups. Therefore, Curcumin effectively inhibited the testis damages and MPH-induced apoptosis, indicating possible protecting features of the Curcumin nanoparticles in opposition to MPH.
