Abstract

Lead is a harmful pollutant from engine exhaust that causes free radicals and has detrimental effects on the testicular tissue. This study aimed to determine the effects of tomato juice on the number of Leydig cells and the diameter of the seminiferous tubules of mice exposed to lead acetate. Twenty-five male mice were divided into five groups. Mice in the control (C-) group were given placebos. Meanwhile, mice in C+, T1, T2, and T3 groups were exposed to lead acetate at a dose of 100 mg/kg BW/day for 14 days and given tomato juice respectively at 0, 0.16, 0.32, and 0.64 mL/day from day 8 to day 35. On day 36, all mice were sacrificed, and the testes were collected for histological preparation. The result showed that lead exposure in the C+ group decreased (p <0.05) in the number of Leydig cells and the diameter of the seminiferous tubules compared to the mice in group C-. Administration of tomato juice in groups T1, T2, and T3 increased (p <0.05) the number of Leydig cells and the diameter of seminiferous tubule compared to the mice in the C+ and C- groups. However, tomato juice administration to the T3 group decreased the number of Leydig cells and the diameter of the seminiferous tubules (p <0.05) compared to the T2 group. In conclusion, an effective dose of 0.32 mL/day of tomato juice restored Leydig cell number and seminiferous tubules diameter in mice exposed to lead acetate.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of basil (Ocimum basilicum) leaf extract in a Tris-egg yolk extender on the motility, and plasma membrane integrity of Sapudi ram spermatozoa at room temperature. Fresh semen samples were collected from Sapudi ram using an artificial vagina. A completely randomized design was used, consisting of four treatment groups with five replicates each. Data were analyzed using SPPS with factorial analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Duncan’s test. The control group (T0) received Tris-egg yolk extender without basil leaf extract. Treatment groups T1, T2, and T3 received 1%, 2%, and 3% basil leaf extract, respectively, in the extender. Results showed that sperm motility and plasma membrane integrity (Table 4) tended to decrease with increased storage time. Among the treatment groups, the addition of 1% basil leaf extract in the Tris-egg yolk extender (T1) resulted in significantly higher (p <0.05) both sperm motility and plasma membrane integrity compared to the control (T0). However, higher concentrations of basil leaf extract (T2 and T3) did not result in significant differences (p >0.05) in sperm motility after three hours of storage compared to the 1% treatment (T1). In conclusion, the addition of 1% basil leaf extract to a Tris-egg yolk extender was effective in maintaining sperm motility and plasma membrane integrity of Sapudi ram spermatozoa stored at room temperature for up to three hours.
