Abstract
This study was done to find out the effect of the antioxidant Hydroxytoluene (BHT) on some physiological and histological variables of rats subjected to stress by starvation. 50 kg) starvation + BHT concentration (mg/kg 100) starvation + BHT concentration (50 mg/kg) starvation + olive oil). The data indicate that starvation decreases the sex hormones of rats exposed to stress by starvation Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinizing Hormone(LH), Testosterone, and damage to testicular tissues, the antioxidant group BHT showed a concentration of (100,50 mg/kg) a protective effect against the negative effect of stress by starvation on sex hormones and testicular tissues by maintaining Its concentration is within its normal level, while the starvation group showed a negative effect on the concentration of sex hormones in the rats’ blood serum and testes tissue. The antioxidant BHT at concentrations of 50 and 100 mg/kg has an effective role in maintaining most of the physiological, biochemical, and histological variables from the negative effects of stress by starvation.
Keywords: BHT, Starvation, FSH, LH, Testosterone Hormone
