Abstract

Objective: We aimed to investigate the changes in endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression and apoptotic index in rat testicular tissue, as well as serum and seminal plasma sex hormone levels after vasectomy, and the effect of ozone therapy (OT). Material and methods: Adult male Wistar rats were used (n=6 per group). Control (G1), sham for 4 weeks (G2) or 6 weeks (G3), orchiectomy at the 4 th (G4) or 6 th (G5) week after left vasectomy, orchiectomy at the 4 th (G6) or 6 th (G7) week after bilateral vasectomy, orchiectomy after 6 weeks OT following left (G8) or bilateral (G9) vasectomy, orchiectomy after 6 weeks OT (G10). Results: In the left testes, while there were increases in eNOS and iNOS immunoreactivity and apoptotic indexes in G4 and G5, no changes were observed in contralateral testis. These values increased in G6 and G7, while OT inhibited these parameters in the left testis of G8 and both testes of G9. Sex hormone levels did not show any changes after vasectomy and ozone therapy. Conclusion: While OT was found to be protective against some parameters mentioned above under stress conditions, it seemed to cause some harmful effects when used in healthy conditions.

Özet

Amaç: Rat testiküler dokusunda vazektomi sonrası serum ve seminal plazma seks hormonları düzeyi yanı sıra endotelyal nitrik oksit sentaz (eNOS) ve indüklenebilir nitrik oksit sentaz (iNOS) ekspresyonu değişiklikleri ve apoptotik indeksi değişikleri ve ozon terapinin (OT) etkisini araştırmak. Gereç ve yöntemler: Yetişkin erkek Wistar sıçanları (n=6 her grupta) kullanıldı. Kontrol (G1), 4 hafta (G2) ve 6 hafta (G3) sham operasyonu, sol vazektomi sonrası 4. hafta (G4) ve 6.haftada (G5) orşiektomi, bilateral vazektomi sonrası 4. hafta (G6) ve 6. haftada (G7) orkiektomi, plasebo ikili vazektomi, sol (G8) ve bilateral (G9) vazektomi sonrası 6 hafta ozon terapi sonrası orşiektomi 6 hafta sonra ve 6 hafta OT (G10) sonrası orşiektomi grupları oluşturuldu. Bulgular: G4 ve G5’de sol testiste eNOS ve iNOS immünoreaktivitesinde ve apoptotik indekslerde artış varken karşı testiste hiçbir değişiklik gözlenmedi. OT G8’in sol testisinde ve 9’un her iki testisinde bu parametreleri inhibe ederken, G6 ve G7 artış izlendi. Seks hormon düzeyleri vazektomi ve ozon tedavisi sonrası herhangi bir değişiklik izlenmedi. Sonuç: OT stres koşulları altında yukarıda bahsedilen bazı parametrelere karşı koruyucu olduğu tespit edilirken, sağlıklı koşullarda uygulandığında bazı zararlı etkilere neden olabileceği gözlendi.
