Ítem Acceso Abierto Efecto de la fitoestrógenos de la alfalfa en la espermatogénesis de los cobayos machos(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Cajamarca Ortega, Josue Ismael; Bravo Alvarez , María Ximena; 0302568365In this research, alfalfa phytoestrogens in the pre-flowering stage are examined because they affect spermatogenesis and the hormonal profiles of male guinea pigs. It aims to evaluate phytoestrogen through diet. Three experimental groups were created. The first group was fed with alfalfa in pre-flowering, the second group was fed with free balanced alfalfa, and the third was fed with a combination of the diets. In consequence, the levels of testosterone and estradiol were measured. Therefore, the diameter of the seminiferous tubules, Leydig cells, spermatogonia germ cells, spermatocytes, and spermatids for the guinea pigs that received alfalfa experienced a decrease in germ cell production and significant hormonal variability, especially in estradiol levels. The findings suggest that phytoestrogens can negatively affect the level of testosterone over a certain period. However, no significant differences were found in testosterone levels, with phytoestrogens being part of a balanced diet of essential proteins that provide ideal nutrients for reproduction, growth, and tissue development. In the same way as the plant diet, phytochemicals prevent damage to cells from diseases to systems such as the cardiovascular or nervous system; therefore, a balanced diet of nutrients is ideal. In this sense, food improvement is important for the breeding of guinea pigs by determining the source of phytoestrogens, affecting on the physiognomy, and achieving a positive effect on nutrition and reproduction.Keywords: Phytoestrogens; Alfalfa in pre-flowering; Hormonal profile; Testosterone; Estradiol.
