Despite the Cox inhibitory anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effects of most widely used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as Ibuprofen, their chronic use is associated with a plethora of pathophysiological insults. One such toxic effect on testicular tissues is not well studied and the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unexplored. Thus, the current study is designed to evaluate the antioxidant properties of essential trace element selenium (Se) to ameliorative Ibuprofen associated testicular toxic effects. Adult male Wistar rats were divided into 3 groups and fed on diets containing different concentrations of sodium selenite, viz. 0.01 mg/kg (Se- deficient), 0.2 mg/kg (Se-adequate), or 0.5 mg/kg (Se- supplemented) for 8 weeks. After diet feeding schedule, each group was divided into two subgroups i.e., with or without the treatment of Ibuprofen (120 mg/kg Bw). The protective effect of Se was evaluated by measuring testicular Se and selenoproteins status, spermatogenic markers, histopathology and testicular redox status. Ibuprofen diminished seminal volume, sperm count, sperm motility, which correlated well increased testicular reactive oxygen species. Se deficiency exacerbated these detrimental effects of ibuprofen by increasing oxidative stress. Alternatively, Se supplementation through antioxidant enzymes mediated protective effects. Se as essential antioxidant selenoproteins ameliorates Ibuprofen induced male reproductive toxicity.
