| Abstract | 1-Bromopropane (1BP) is widely used as an alternative to ozone-depleting solvents. The present study investigated the role of P450s in 1BP-induced male reproductive toxicity. Mice co-treated with 1-aminobenzotriazole (ABT), a non-selective P450 inhibitor, were exposed to 1BP at 0, 50, 250, or 1200 ppm, while saline-treated control mice were exposed to 1BP at 0, 50, or 250 ppm, for 4 weeks. In the saline-treated mice, exposure to 1BP at 250 ppm decreased the sperm count and sperm motility. Histopathological examination showed that exposure to 1BP at 50 and 250 ppm increased the number of elongated spermatids retained at the basal region of stage IX, X and XI seminiferous tubules, while exposure to 1BP at 250 ppm increased the number of periodic acid-Schiff (PAS)-positive round structures in stage IX, X, and XI seminiferous tubules. Co-treatment with ABT prevented the above changes induced by exposure to 1BP at 50 or 250 ppm. However, ABT-treated mice exposed to 1BP in the 1200 ppm group showed decreases in the weights of reproductive organs, epididymal sperm count and motility, increases in epididymal sperm with abnormal heads, retained spermatids and PAS-positive round structures in stages IX–XI, depletion of spermatogenic cells in part of the seminiferous tubules, and a small number of round spermatids in stage VII seminiferous tubules. The results at 50 and 250 ppm of 1-BP exposure indicate that P450s play important roles in 1BP-induced testicular toxicity. The control of P450 activity reduced 1BP-induced male reproductive toxicities including spermiation failure, reduction of epididymal sperm count and motility, and formation of PAS-positive round structures at postspermiation stages. |

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.
