Abstract
The aim of the study is investigation of morphological features of the testicles of rat newborns with different models of intrauterine hypoxia. Fifteen white outbred female rats aged from 4 to 10 months with a weight of 200 ± 30 g were used. Laboratory animals were divided into 3 experimental groups, 5 rats in each. The first group was subjected to a hypoxic hypoxia during pregnancy (21 days). The hypoxia was simulated in accordance with the method of N.N. Karkishchenko (2010). The second group was subjected to a hemic hypoxia during the second and third weeks of pregnancy, in accordance with the methodology of L.M. Sosedova (2012). The third (control) group was not exposed to any treatment during the pregnancy. After delivery, the newborn rat pups were subjected to the measurements of oxygenation degree using the methods of reflectance spectroscopy, then the animals were withdrawn from the experiment; and a morphological study of the testicle tissues was performed. Histological examination of the tissues of the testicles of newborn rats showed signs of impaired blood circulation, dystrophic and necrobiotic changes in the parenchyma.
