Influence of Melatonin on Maturation of Male Germ Cells

We studied the influence of epiphysectomy and administration of melatonin to epiphysectomized outbred white rats on the level and daily dynamics of damage to the genetic material of developing male germ cells. Epiphysectomy leads to an increase in the level of damage in the DNA structure and the disappearance of the circadian rhythm of the activity of repair enzyme PARP-1 and the apoptosis-inducing enzyme caspase-3. The administration of melatonin to animals after epiphysectomy reduces the level of DNA damage, restores the circadian rhythm of activity of PARP-1 and caspase-3. These fundings suggest that melatonin can indirectly protect DNA of maturing male gametes.
