Abstract

Purpose

To investigate protective effects of vitamins E and C against 1.5 Tesla static magnetic fields in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on spermatogenesis parameters was the main goal of the present study.

Materials and Methods

Ninety‐two mature male rats were exposed to 1.5 T MRI static magnetic fields for 30 min with or without vitamins C and E alone or in combination. Animals were sacrificed and the testicular tissues were anatomically sectioned, stained, and the number of germ cells and the diameters of sperm ducts were measured and compared with sham and controls.

Results

Results showed that compared to sham, static magnetic fields may reduce the germ cell count (P = 0.000) and sperm ducts diameters (P = 0.020), and vitamins C and E could modify the reduction in germ cell count (P = 0.019) but they did not show any protective effect on sperm duct diameter reduction (0.647).

Conclusion

The protective effects of vitamins C and E are different, and depend on the type of effects. It seems that the modifying effects of vitamins are to be additive, but vitamin E plays a more important role than vitamin C against the static magnetic field on spermatogenesis parameters in clinical MRI.

It was reported that ipriflavone was primarily metabolized via hepatic CYP1A1/2 and 2C11 in rats. In the present study, the expression of CYP1A2 and 2C11 decreased in the liver, but increased in the intestine in rats pretreated with E. coli lipopolysaccharide (ECLPS; an animal model of inflammation)
