Abstract

Objective This study aimed to explore the potential protective effects of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell secretome (ASE) on oxidative stress triggered by Bisphenol-A (BisA) exposure in testicular mitochondria and sperm quality of rats. Materials & Methods Testicular tissue mitochondria and sperms were exposed to BisA (8 μM) and ASE (50 or 100 μg). ΔΨm (mitochondrial membrane potential), reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, antioxidant biomarkers, and sperm parameters were measured. Results BisA elevated biomarkers of oxidative stress in mitochondria, while the levels of antioxidant activity and ΔΨm decreased significantly. BisA harmed the morphology, survival rate, and mobility of the spermatozoids. ASE lowered malondialdehyde contents and ROS generation in the mitochondria, increased ΔΨm, and reversed sperm quality. Conclusions These data indicated that ASE effectively reduced BisA-induced damage to mitochondria and enhanced sperm quality by averting oxidative stress.
