The influence of alpha-tocopherol and synthetic antioxidants on morpho-functional status of gonadotropic cells from white rat adenohypophysis

摘要

Morphometric indices of gonadotropic cells obtained from adenohypophysis of white rats, both males and females, were investigated after treatment with alpha-tocopherol and synthetic antioxidants. The former stimulated the functional status of gonadotropic cells revealed in a proportional increase in both nuclear and cytoplasmic volumes. After the treatment with a synthetic antioxidant dibunolum, the volume of the cytoplasm increased in gonadotropic cells of rats of different sexes. After the treatment with a water-soluble antioxidant emoxipinum, the volume of the cytoplasm in gonadotropic cells increased only in males. The outcomes allow to consider alpha-tocopherol, in contrast to from synthetic antioxidants, as one of the modulators of the functional state of gonadotropic cells obtained from adenohypophysis.
