Some Histological and Physiological effects of Aluminum Chloride on Some Reproductive Organs of Male Albino Mice ( Musmusculus)

Abstract

Different results were given an importance to aluminum element, which has more apparent disturbances in reproduktive processes , and other body organz . The purpuse of this research was to The aim of this research was to explain effects of aluminum on male reproductive system .For confirming that aim ;a twenty healthy, sexually matured male albino mice were aged 3–4 months and weighed 29–41 g were included in this study ,Ten mice were exposed to 1200 ppm of aluminum chloride in drinking tap water ;While the others were used as controls .Sex hormones levels were estimated ,Testis ,epididymis ,vas deference and some accessory reproductive glands; prostate ,seminal vesicles and preputial gland , were studied histologically.Results explain a significant decrease in all sex hormones levels ;testosterone LH and FSH as compared with control mice .Histological results explain a destruction in germinal epithelium of seminiferous tubules and a large necrosis with increase in the interstitial spaces and an epithelium deformation in the linings of epididymis and vas deference and the accessory sex glands.
