Abstract
This
work aimed to evaluate the ameliorating effect of grape seed oil (GSO) on the
lesions of experimental Acrylamide (ACR)
intoxication in male rat genital organs. Two experimental groups of concomitant
administration of 2 dietary levels of GSO with the toxic dose of ACR were
evaluated in comparison with a negative control group and other 3 positive
control groups for each of the 2 dietary levels of GSO and the toxic dose of the
ACR. The results, at the end of the experiment (3 weeks), revealed occurrence of
the highest scale of the histopathologic changes in case of the group of
ACR-intoxication. These changes were in the form of testicular degeneration,
abnormal epididymal contents of immature spermatocytes and multinucleated giant
cells. The prostate glands and seminal vesicles showed cystic dilatation with
less secretory materials, epithelial hyperplasia, necrosis and desquamation.
Nearly similar scales of lesions were seen in the group administrated by ACR with low levels of GSO, while the
lesions in the other group of
administration by ACR with the high levels of GSO were of less
scales. The conclusion from this microscopic evaluation was the occurrence of a
less and level-dependent impact ameliorating
effect of GSO supplementation against ACR-induced
lesions in male genital organs of the adult rats.
