ABSTRACT
AIM:
To find out whether different dosage of rare earth element-lanthanum can influence the expression of aquaporin 7(AQP 7) in the testis of rats.METHODS:
Rats were fed with lanthanum nitrate [La(NO3)3] and killed 6 months later. Testes were then removed immediately to extract total RNA. Northern blot analysis is performed finally.RESULTS:
0.1 mg/kg La(NO3)3 depressed the expression of AQP 7 in rat testis, while 20 mg/kg La(NO3)3 had no significant effect on it.CONCLUSION:
AQP 7 expession is found in the rat testis; La(NO3)3 can depress the expression of AQP 7 in the rat testis.
