Effects of Gossypol Injection into the Stroma of Testis on Blood Constituents in Mice

생쥐 정소실질내 Gossypol 투여가 혈액성상에 미치는 영향

We have previously shown that gossypol injection into the stroma of testis was found to effectively inhibit the process of spermatogenesis. In this study, properties and chemistry of blood were investigated weekly in ICR mouse after the injection of gossypol into the testicular stroma(5, 10 or 15mg per kg body weight). There were no significant differences in red blood cell(RBC), hematocrit, white blood cell(WBC), basophils, eosinophils and monocytes during first 4 weeks after injection of gossypol between treatments, but neutrophils increased and lymphocytes decreased, respectively(P<0.05). Total content of protein, albumin and globulin were not different, compared with control. However, the concentration of glucose after injection of gossypol increased significantly(P<0.05). In conculsion, the results of this study indicated that injection of gossypol into stroma of testis might affect both properties and chemistry of blood in mice.
