Infertility is a worldwide problem affecting both genders, it can be defined as the inability of the adult males to make a fertile woman pregnant after one year of regular intercourse. Cisplatin considers one of the most potent antineoplastic drugs that is extensively
used, alone or in combination with other antitumor agents, to manage solid and germ cell cancer. The major drawback in cisplatin treatment is its damaging consequence on various body tissue, including the testis, liver, renal and others. One of its pronounced adverse effects is testicular injury, which may proceed to end with infertility. Thiamine pyrophosphate is the active form of thiamine which has an important role in the oxidative phosphorylation pathway. It acts as a co-factor and energy source for many cellular enzymes, also it utilizes by pentose-phosphate shut that elevates NADPH and improves antioxidants level. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of thiamine pyrophosphate on sperm parameters and gonadotropic hormones (luteal and follicle-stimulating hormone) of male rats exposed to a single dose of cisplatin.
Twenty-eight albino male rats were randomly grouped into four groups. Control group: received normal saline, Cisplatin group: received normal saline and cisplatin, TPP50 group: received thiamine pyrophosphate (50mg/kg) with cisplatin, and TPP100 group: as third group (TPP50) but thiamine pyrophosphate dose was 100 mg/kg. Semen samples used to measure the sperms viability and morphology, while serum samples were gathered to measure the levels of gonadotropic hormones (FSH and LH).
This study revealed that rat’s testicular function was notably deteriorated by cisplatin administration, represented by a reduction in sperm parameters (viability and normal morphology), and serum gonadotropic hormones (FSH and LH). In this work, thiamine pyrophosphate was act as a protective agent that ameliorates rat’s testicular damage induced by cisplatin in a dose-dependent manner. The suggested mechanism may attribute to its antioxidant and anti-apoptotic action
