| Abstract | The aim is to study the expression of superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD, MnSOD) and the changes of ultrastructure in rat testis after electromagnetic radiation (EMR) so as to investigate the mechanisms of EMR effect on procreation. As an in vivo model, male SD rats were used. Rats were exposed to the field of electromagnetics. By reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), manganese SOD (MnSOD) and copper/zinc SOD (CuZnSOD) mRNA in the testis have been tested and the testis samples were prepared for transmission electron microscopy to observe the ultrastructure at 6h, 12h, 24h and 48h after radiation. In rat testis, MnSOD mRNA expression decreased at 24h and CuZnSOD mRNA expression did not change after radiation; the ratio of MnSOD/CuZnSOD decreased at 24h after radiation. These were some degree injuries in the testis at different time after radiation, the testis damage at 24h was more serious than that at other times after radiation. At 24h after exposure, the chromatin was gathered in the border and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) was dilated and vacuolated in interstitial cells, spermatogonium cells of rat testis. The changes in sustentacular cells was more serious than the other cells. The results showed that the MnSOD gene expression was decreased and the ultrastructure of rat testis were damaged after exposure to electromagnetics. These changes may induce the other effects, and the change of MnSOD expression might reflect a defensive mechanism of rat body against oxidative stress. If these changes would not regain in time, they may cause worse effects. Thus, EMR could induce some changes in the testis of rats so as to alter the procreative function. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
