    Formaldehyde exposure causes significant DNA fragmentation in Wistar rat lymphocytes and spermatozoa. This genotoxic damage, including DNA strand breaks, was observed across different exposure doses.

    Area of Science:

    • Toxicology
    • Genetics
    • Molecular Biology

    Background:

    • Formaldehyde (FA) is a known genotoxic agent.
    • FA exposure can lead to DNA-protein cross-links (DPCs), oxidative stress, and DNA damage.
    • Genotoxicity is a critical concern for formaldehyde's health effects.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To quantify DNA fragmentation in lymphocytes and spermatozoa of Wistar rats exposed to varying formaldehyde doses.
    • To assess the dose-dependent genotoxic effects of formaldehyde on cellular DNA.

    Main Methods:

    • Wistar rats were exposed to different doses of formaldehyde.
    • DNA fragmentation was measured in isolated lymphocytes and spermatozoa.
    • Statistical analysis was performed to compare treated groups with a control group.

  • Histopathological examination of seminiferous tubules was conducted.

    • Main Results:

    • A statistically significant increase in DNA fragmentation was observed in both lymphocytes and spermatozoa of formaldehyde-exposed rats compared to controls (p < 0.05).
    • Pathological alterations in seminiferous tubules were noted, particularly at the highest formaldehyde dose (30 mg/kg).

    Conclusions:

    • Formaldehyde exposure induces significant DNA strand breaks and genotoxic damage in lymphocytes and spermatozoa of Wistar rats.
    • The findings support formaldehyde's role as a genotoxic agent affecting reproductive and somatic cells.
