| Abstract: Background: Tartrazine is an artificial dye widely used in the food market such as candy, ice cream, and soft drinks; it has harmful effects on different body organs and on the maturation of male and female reproductive organs.Aim of the work: The present work aims to study the effect of tartrazine on the postnatal development of gonads and the protective effect of sesame oil.Materials and methods: this research was done on offspring of adult rats which were divided equally into 3 groups: Group I (Control Group): offspring of mother who received distilled water. Group II (Tartrazine group): offspring of mothers who received TZ (7.5mg/kg/day) via oral gavage from the fifth day of the pregnancy till labor. Group III (sesame oil group offspring of mothers who received TZ (7.5 mg/kg/day) via oral gavage and oral administration of Sesame oil at a dose of 5 ml/kg /day) from the 5th day of pregnancy till labor. Results: In the tartrazine-treated group the ovary appeared reduced in size, the follicles appeared with destructed granulosa cells and empty oocytes while in the testis the seminiferous tubules showed disorganization of most germinal epithelial cells and vacuolations in Leydig cells. The sesame and tartrazine treated group has a weak role in protection where the ovary appeared with destructed granulosa cells and oocytes while there was mild improvement in male rats. the immunohistochemical result was the reaction to caspase -3 in ovarian tissue and to PCNA stain in the testicular tissue. Conclusion: this study revealed that the use of tartrazine led to damage in ovarian and testicular cells and administration of sesame oil had a weak observable effect. | ||||
