Leptin induced changes in sperm parameters in spraguedawley rats: role of oxidative stress and its prevention by melatonin / Fayez A. M. Almabhouh
Exogenous leptin administration has been shown to adversely effect sperm count and sperm morphology in normal adult rats. It is however unknown if it affects sperm DNA integrity and increases apoptosis of sperm and testicular tissue cells. This study therefore investigated the effect of leptin admin...

Exogenous leptin administration has been shown to adversely effect sperm count and sperm morphology in normal adult rats. It is however unknown if it affects sperm DNA integrity and increases apoptosis of sperm and testicular tissue cells. This study therefore investigated the effect of leptin administration on sperm count, morphology, sperm DNA integrity, sperm DNA damage, apoptosis and histone-to-protamine ratios and its prevention by melatonin in Sprague-Dawley rats. It also examined the reversal of these effects on sperm parameters for up to 56 days following cessation of leptin treatment.
