Pathogenetic aspects of the features of androgen deficiency state under the condition of experimental varicocele.

OBJECTIVE

Aim: The aim of this article is to study of the main pathogenetic aspects of the features of androgen deficiency state under the condition of experimental varicocele caused by serotonin hydrochloride.

PATIENTS AND

METHODS

Materials and

Methods

Simulation of serotonin testicular damage (experimental varicocele) is used to reproduce gonadal pathology. In the mechanism of the development of this gonadopathy was the vasoconstrictor effect of serotonin hydrochloride plays a leading role. Serotonin hydrochloride (Alfa AesarR, USA) was administered for 14 days at a dose of 5 mg/kg of body weight ("pathology" group).

RESULTS

Results

Experimental varicocele led to disturbance of structural elements of connective tissue (and the content of connective tissue components of glycosaminoglycans in the testes and chondroitin sulfates in the seminal plasma) as a leading link in the pathogenetic chain which promotes the formation of hormone dependent reproductive diseasess.

CONCLUSION

Conclusions

Experimental varicocele on the background of the androgen deficiency state led to the disturbance of the morphofunctional state of the mitochondria of testicular cells, damage to the nuclear membrane, a decrease in the content of testosterone in the blood and fructose in the seminal vesicles; a decrease in the concentration and motility of spermatozoa.
