Toxicologia reprodutiva de ratos adultos expostos ao 2,3,7,8-Tetraclorodibenzo-P-Dioxina (TCDD) in útero

Abstract

Dioxins are organic polychlorinated byproducts derived from several industrial processes whose most toxic form is 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), which persists in the environment due to its cumulative character. Humans are prone to TCDD exposure, principally by ingesting contaminated foods and during critical periods of development, especially during intrauterine and postnatal life. It is known that exposure to TCDD promotes dysfunctions of the male genital system such as reduced weights of reproductive organs, delayed initiation of sexual maturation, diminished number of testicular spermatids, diminished serum testosterone levels, oxidative stress in the epididymis, decreased sperm concentration, alterations in motility and in sperm transit time. Considering the scarcity in the literature of works on the effects of TCDD on the reproductive health of male offspring, its action on reproductive functions and sperm quality should be confirmed and elucidated in both humans and experimental animals. Thus, we evaluated the effect transgenerational of in utero exposure to TCDD about genital system of adult male offspring, with emphasizing the epididymal functions and sperm quality. For this, pregnant rats were exposed to low doses of TCDD (0.1; 0.5 and 1.0μg), on gestational day 15 and subsequently their adult male offspring were investigated for fertility after artificial insemination in utero (AI). The hormones testosterone, follicle stimulating (FSH) and luteinizing (LH) were also measured. Intrauterine exposure to TCDD provoked, in adult male offspring, alterations in serum testosterone levels and sperm morphology, and diminution in sperm transit time in the cauda epididymis. Furthermore, there was reduction in the proportion of implants per corpus luteum after in utero artificial insemination, such that these alterations occurred under at least one of the doses tested in the three generations. Nevertheless, there was no ...

As dioxinas são subprodutos orgânicos policlorados provenientes de vários processos industriais e têm como forma mais tóxica o 2,3,7,8-tetraclorodibenzo-p-dioxina (TCDD). O homem está propenso à exposição ao TCDD, principalmente, devido à ingestão de alimentos contaminados e em períodos críticos de desenvolvimento, sobretudo, durante a vida intrauterina e pós-natal. A exposição ao TCDD promove disfunções no sistema genital masculino, como redução dos pesos dos órgãos reprodutores, atraso no início da maturação sexual, diminuição do número de espermátides no testículo, queda nos níveis séricos de testosterona, estresse oxidativo no epidídimo, queda na concentração espermática, alterações da motilidade e no tempo de trânsito dos espermatozoides. Considerando-se que na literatura os trabalhos acerca dos efeitos do TCDD na saúde reprodutiva da descendência masculina são escassos e precisam ser confirmados e elucidados, tanto em animais de experimentação como em humanos, principalmente, sua ação sobre as funções reprodutivas e na qualidade espermática. Deste modo, avaliou-se os efeitos transgeracionais da exposição in utero ao TCDD no sistema genital masculino da prole quando adulta, com ênfase nas funções epididimárias e na qualidade espermática. Para isso, ratas prenhes foram expostas a baixas doses de TCDD (0,1; 0,5 e 1,0μg), no dia gestacional 15, sendo feitas, na prole masculina adulta, análises espermáticas e investigação da fertilidade após inseminação artificial in utero (IA). Além disso, foram realizadas dosagens dos hormônios testosterona, folículo estimulante (FSH) e luteinizante (LH). A exposição intrauterina ao TCDD ocasionou, na prole masculina adulta, alterações nos níveis séricos hormonais de testosterona, morfologia espermática e diminuição no tempo de trânsito espermático na cauda do epidídimo. Além disso, houve redução da proporção de ...
