Abstract

The present study aimed to assess the effect of tissue hypoxia induced by sodium cyanide (NaCN) on male mice fertility and the protective role of ethyl pyruvate (EP). A number of 30 adult mice were assigned to three groups: 1) a control group, 2) a treatment group treated with 2 mg/kg of NaCN, and 3) a treatment group treated with 2 mg/kg of NaCN, along with 40 mg/kg EP (NaCN+EP). After 35 days, animals were anesthetized and serum, sperm, and tissue samples were taken. The results demonstrated a significant decrease in sperm quality, reproduction potency, and anti-oxidant potential, as well as an increase in lipid peroxidation in the NaCN group (p <0.05). Moreover, the use of EP effectively restrained the disastrous effects of tissue hypoxia. It can be concluded that EP can moderate the complications resulting from tissue-hypoxia that is related to testes parameters.
