Sperm Counts

Eurycoma longifolia has been known for its aphrodisiac effects in male. Our previous study showed that with the dosage of 8 mg/kg bodyweight (BW) Eurycoma longifolia root extract increased plasma total testosterone levels in male rats when given for 14 days. Oestrogen is a potent inhibitor for testosterone production and spermatogenesis. The aim of the present study is to determine the effects of Eurycoma longifolia (8 mg/kg BW) on the spermatogenic cell count and sperm count of testosterone-suppressed male rats. Adult male Sprague-Dawley healthy male rats weighed 200–250 g were treated with, either control vehicle (no active ingredients given), oestradiol (500 mg/kg BW), Eurycoma longifolia (8 mg/kg BW) or combination of Eurycoma longifolia and oestradiol for fourteen consecutive days. Results showed that sperm count and spermatogenic cell count were increased in Eurycoma longifolia treated group compared with control group (P < 0.05) and to oestradiol treated group (P < 0.05). While in oestradiol treated group, sperm count and spermatogenic cell count were reduced significantly (P < 0.05) compared with control group. Combination of Eurycoma longifolia and oestradiol did not affect sperm count and spermatogenic cell count when compared with control group but they were significantly increased compared with oestradiol treated group (P < 0.05). Thus, the study has shown that Eurycoma longifolia is potentially capable to suppress harmful effects of oestradiol on spermatogenesis and sperm counts in healthy male rats when given for fourteen consecutive days.

New Treatments

Introduction: There is a decline in male fertility thus new treatments are needed. Aims: To test the efficacy of a new dietary supplement developed in the USA and registered as a curing drug in Hungary (OGYI). Methods: In a clinical trial 100 men with low sperm quality (spermium count 5–20 M/ml, good motility 10–40%, and adverse shape 30–50%) were examined. Results: Sperm parameters were measured before and after a 3-month treatment and after another 3-month without treatment. This dietary supplement statistically and clinically significantly improved sperm count and motility. In 74 cases this dietary supplement demonstrated a beneficial effect on sperm quality (more than 10% increase in sperm count, or quality of motility, or shape); in 16 cases the improvement exceeded 30%. No adverse effect could be accounted for this treatment. Conclusions: This new dietary supplement may contribute to the treatment of male infertility. Orv. Hetil., 2012, 153, 1787–1792.

Sperm Washing

Objectives: Artificial insemination with sperm preparation and inseminate to the uterus is a common method of infertility treatment. Currently two methods used for sperm washing is “swim-up” and “gradient”. Materials and methods:cross-sectional description in 166 cycles of artificial insemination in Hue University Hospital from April, 2012 to March, 2013 in order to compare effectiveness between “swim-up” and “gradient” methods. Samples were collected randomly into two methods. Results:Results of sperm preparation in both methods are equivalent in terms of the following parameters total sperm count, total number of progressive sperm, total good morphology sperm. However, “gradient” method results in higher number of progressive sperm in case with slow motility (38.3% vs. 26.1%) or abnormal morphology (34.9% vs. 19.7 %) compared with “swim-up” method. Pregnancy rates after artificial insemination were similar between two preparation methods. Conclusion:In case of slow motility sperm and abnormal morphology, “gradient” method should be used to increase the number of progressive sperms. Pregnancy outcome depends on many factors other than preparation methods. Key words: Artificial insemination, sperm preparation, infertility treatment
