| Abstract | Aroclor 1254, a commercial mixture of highly toxic environmental pollutant, is known to cause testicular toxicity. The present study was undertaken to delineate and elucidate the nature and the mechanism of action of Aroclor 1254 on rat sperm in vitro. Sperm of adult rat were incubated with 10(-9)M, 10(-8)M or 10(-7)M of Aroclor 1254 for 3h. Sperm motility was significantly decreased. Moreover, sperm viability, acrosome reaction and mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm) were significantly decreased in a dose-related pattern. DNA integrity was significantly decreased at 10(-8)M and 10(-7)M of Aroclor 1254, while it did not show any significant change at 10(-9)M. Aroclor 1254 induced downstream events included cytochrome c release and caspase-3 activation, in a dose-related manner. ATP content was decreased while protein carbonyl content was significantly increased in a dose-related manner. The oxidative stress status was also assessed. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production and lipid peroxidation (LPO) were significantly increased in a dose-related pattern. The antioxidant enzymes SOD, CAT and GPx were significantly decreased, while at a concentration of 10(-9)M of Aroclor 1254, GR activity did not show any significant change. The non-enzymatic antioxidant (GSH) was significantly decreased in a dose-dependent manner. In conclusion; our data clearly show that Aroclor 1254 induces toxicity, oxidative stress and culminating in mitochondria mediated apoptosis in rat sperm. |

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.
