The objective of the present study is to detect the effects of methandienone on sperm head morphology of male (Mus musculus) mice. For this purpose 55 adult male mice were used and divided into five groups: both of the control -ve and control +ve (CFA) have consisted of 5 mice, and the other three treated groups consisted of 15 mice injected orally with three doses (low, medium and high) (0.125, 0.25, 0.5) mgkg body weight methandienone, with periods (7, 21, 35) days. At the end of the treatment periods morphological abnormalities of sperm were examed. The results showed the presence of abnormal change in the form of the sperms head morphology, the effect of methandienone was dose and time dependents. The significant abnormal shapes of sperms head were observed; they were swelling head, head acrosome loss, apical hook, hammerhead, acrosome defective and other abnormalities. From these results, we can conclude Methadinone has the potential to increase the rate of deformity of head sperm morphology when increasing dose and duration of the drug, indicating that may be a genetic damage happened affects the stages of sperm formation and this needs further studies and in spite of methandienone medical uses and advantages, dose and period of treatment must be determined by a doctor.

Backgrounds and objectives. The wide use of paracetamol at high doses was found to alter sperm parameters especially sperm morphology, and thus its fertilizing capability. Therefore, the present study was designed to use different doses of paracetamol to identify its effect on sperm parameters and testosterone levels in adult male mice. Methods. Forty adult male albino mice were divided into four equal groups, the first group injected with distilled water, the three treated groups injected with different doses of paracetamol (20, 40, 80 mg/kg body weight /day) over a period of 42 days. All doses were given once daily via intraperitoneal injection. Results. The results showed that paracetamol causes a significant decrease in body weight, non-significance effect on sperm parameters at doses of 20 and 40 mg/kg, while it led to a significant effect on sperm parameters at a dose of 80 mg/kg. Also, there was no difference in testosterone level between control and the treated groups (20 and 40mg/kg). But it showed a significant decrease in testosterone level at dose 80 mg/kg treated groups. Conclusion. It is considered safe to use paracetamol at doses 20 and 40 mg/kg but the dose 80 mg/kg has adverse effects on sperm parameters and testosterone level.

The purpose of this study was to know the effect of L-arginine on the histology of primary spermatocyte count in mice (Mus musculus) after high temperature exposed. The subjects of this study were 20 adult male mice, 8 weeks old with an body weight range from 20-40 grams. This research conducted by using Complete Randomized Design (RAL) with 4 treatments and 5 replications. The treatments consisted of, P0- = treatment with 1ml of aquabidest without high temperature exposed, P0 + = treatment with 1ml of aquabidest after high temperature exposed for 1hour per-day for 35 days, P1 = 1.3mg / day L-arginine dissolved in 1ml aquabidest and given orally after high temperature exposed for 1hour per-day for 35 days and P2 = 2.6mg / day L-arginine dissolved in 1ml aquabidest given orally after high temperature exposed for 1hour per-day for 35 days. Observations done by making histologic preparations of testicular organs and then calculated the total number of primary spermatocyte per treatment. The data of primary spermatocyte calculated and analyzed by using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), followed by Duncan test. The result from data analysis showed that there was a significant difference (p<0.05) between P1 and P2 with control,between P1 and P2 the analysis did not show any significant  difference (p> 0.05).

Torch ginger has a wide range of good antimicrobial, antioxidant, anticancer, larvicidal and repellent activities. Active compounds in Torch ginger that affect pharmacological activities are phenols, polyphenols, flavonoids, and terpenoids. Based on these ingredients Torch ginger can be used to heal wounds. This study aims to observe the effect of Torch ginger Umbut extract on wound healing in mice. This study hopes to add information about the effect of Torch ginger umbut extract on the healing of cuts in mice so that it can be another alternative for wound healing and can be a reference for other researchers. This study used a completely randomized design with 5 treatments and 3 replications. Tests carried out on adult male mice. The results showed that the optimal wound healing in P2 is treatment with 10% Torch ginger umbut extract which requires a range of wound healing 7-8 days. Based on these results, Torch ginger umbut extract can heal wounds.

Aim: The study was aimed at evaluating the effects of ethanolic extract of Sesamum indicum seeds on sperm morphology and viability in ketoconazole induced testicular damage in Wistar rats. Methods: Forty eight adult male Wistar rats were divided into eight Groups of six rats each. Groups 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8 were administered 1ml of normal saline, 100 mg /kg body weight (bwt) of Ketoconazole only, 500 mg/kg bwt of ethanolic extract of sesamum indicum (EESI) seeds then100 mg/kg bwt of Ketoconazole, 100 mg/kg bwt of Ketoconazole then 250 mg /kg body weight of EESI seeds,100 mg/kg bwt of Ketoconazole then 500 mg/kg bwt of EESI, 100 mg/kg body weight of Ketoconazole then 0.36 mg/kg body weight of Mesterolone, 0.36 mg/kg body weight of Mesterolone, 500 mg/kg body weight of EESI respectively. All administrations were carried out orally once per day. The sperm smears were collected for semen analyses. Result: A significant increase in the abnormalities of sperm morphology and viability respectively were noted in the group administered ketoconazole alone (Group 2) compared with other experimental Groups (P ≤ 0.05). Conclusions: The administration of ethanolic extract of Sesamum indicum appeared to have minimized the damages and sperm deaths caused by ketoconazole which may be due to its androgenic properties.

AbstractBackgroundA recently discovered hormone, irisin is accepted to be significantly involved in the regulation of body weight. Thyroid functions may be, directly or indirectly, associated with irisin.AimThe aim of the present study is to determine the effect of experimental thyroid dysfunction on irisin levels in rats.MethodsThe study registered 40 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats, which were allocated to groups as follows: 1. Control; 2. Hypothyroidism induced by injection of 10 mg/kg/day intraperitoneal propylthiouracil (PTU) for 3 weeks; 3. Hypothyroidism (PTU 2 weeks) + L-thyroxin (1.5 mg/kg/day for 1 week); 4. Hyperthyroidism induced in rats by 3-week thyroxin (0.3 mg/kg/day); 5. Hyperthyroidism + PTU. At the end of the study, blood samples were collected to quantify free triiodothyronine (FT3), free triiodothyronine (FT4) and irisin levels.ResultsFT3and FT4levels were reduced in hypothyroidism and were significantly elevated in hyperthyroidism (p < 0.001). Irisin values, on the other hand, were found to be elevated in both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism groups (p < 0.001).ConclusionThe results of the study suggest that irisin values increase in thyroid dysfunction, hypo- and hyperthyroidism, and that when hypothyroidism is corrected by thyroxin administration and hyperthyroidism by PTU injection, plasma irisin values go back to normal.

In this study we evaluated the time dependence in cadmium-nicotine interaction and its effect on motor function, anxiety linked behavioural changes, serum electrolytes, and weight after acute and chronic treatment in adult male mice. Animals were separated randomly into four groups of n = 6 animals each. Treatment was done with nicotine, cadmium, or nicotine-cadmium for 21 days. A fourth group received normal saline for the same duration (control). Average weight was determined at 7-day interval for the acute (D1-D7) and chronic (D7-D21) treatment phases. Similarly, the behavioural tests for exploratory motor function (open field test) and anxiety were evaluated. Serum electrolytes were measured after the chronic phase. Nicotine, cadmium, and nicotine-cadmium treatments caused no significant change in body weight after the acute phase while cadmium-nicotine and cadmium caused a decline in weight after the chronic phase. This suggests the role of cadmium in the weight loss observed in tobacco smoke users. Both nicotine and cadmium raised serum Ca2+ concentration and had no significant effect on K+ ion when compared with the control. In addition, nicotine-cadmium treatment increased bioaccumulation of Cd2+ in the serum which corresponded to a decrease in body weight, motor function, and an increase in anxiety.
