The Effect of 8 Week of Resistance Training with Licorice and Boldenone Extract on Sperm Cells, Sertoli and Leydig Testicular Tissue of Male Rats

Anabolic-androgenic steroids popular among athletes have many beneficial and harmful effects on the body. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explain the effect of 8 hours of moderate intensity resistance training with licorice and Boldenone extract on sperm cells, Sertoli and Leydig testicular tissue of male rats.

For the present experimental study, 40 8-week-old male rats weighing 20-220 g were selected and divided into 8 groups of 5, including healthy control, resistance training, and bulldon, Licorice, Boldenone + Licorice, Boldenone, Resistance Training, resistance training + licorice and resistance training + Boldenone + licorice were divided. Then, the resistance training groups performed moderate-intensity training 8 times a week and three times a week, the Boldenone groups received 5 (mg / kg) Boldenone once a week, and the licorice groups received weekly exercise. They received 500 (mg / kg) licorice three times. 48 hours after the last training session, rats were anesthetized by injection of ketamine (70 mg / kg) and xylarine (10 mg / kg) and after incision in the anterior part of the abdominal wall, testicular tissue was removed and tested Stored in refrigerator-80. Finally Data were analyzed using three-way ANOVA and Tukey post hoc tests.

The results showed that there was a significant difference between the means of spermatoid, sertoli and testicular tissue of male rats in different groups.

According to the results of the present study and the effect of exercise and licorice, it is recommended that athletes use these exercises and licorice in consultation with a physician.
