Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of porang (Amorphophallus oncophyllus) tuber extract on the histopathological features of the testicle of alloxan induced rats (Rattus norvegicus). Thirty male rats were randomly divided into six groups. Rats in group C- were injected with distilled water, while rats in groups C+, T0, T1, T2, and T3 were injected with 120 mg/kg bw alloxan. Blood glucose was measured three days after alloxan injection. Rats in groups C- and C+ were then administered with 1% Na-CMC, whereas rats in groups T0, T1, T2, and T3 were then administered with 45mg/kg bw metformin, and 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg bw of porang tuber extract, respectively. All solution were given orally once every day for 14 days. Spermatogenic activity was assessed using the Johnsen scoring system and analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis, followed by the Mann-Whitney test. The diameter and epithelial thickness of the seminiferous tubule were measured using image raster software and analyzed using Anova followed by Duncan's test. The results showed that spermatogenesis score, diameter, and epithelial thickness of seminiferous tubule of group C+ were smaller (p <0.05) than group C-. Spermatogenesis scores of groups T0, T1, T2, and T3 were higher (p <0.05) than group C+. Seminiferous tubule diameter and epithelial thickness in groups T0, T1, and T2 were greater (p <0.05) than group C+. It could be concluded that porang tuber extract at a dose of 200 mg/kg bw improved the spermatogenesis score, diameter seminiferous tubule, and thickness of the epithelium of diabetic rats.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of administration of ciplukan (Physalis angulate Linn.) leaf extract on the variables of testicular weight, seminiferous tubules diameter, and spermatozoa plasma membrane integrity of rats (Rattus norvegicus) exposed to heat as model animals. Rats were divided randomly into five groups. In the NC group, rats were not exposed to heat and were only given 1% Na-CMC. In the PC, T1, T2, and T3 rats were exposed to heat followed by administration of 1% Na-CMC, 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg bw of ciplukan leaf extract (CLE) in 1% Na-CMC. Heat exposure at 40°C was conducted for 60 minutes every day for 21 days. On day-22, all rats were sacrificed for testicular evaluation. The results showed that all variables in the PC group were lower (p <0.05) than in the NC group. All variables in the T3 group were higher (p <0.05) than in the PC group. Testicular weight and spermatozoa plasma membrane integrity in the T3 group were not significantly different (p >0.05) from the NC group. However, the diameter of the seminiferous tubules in the T3 group were lower (p <0.05) than in the NC group. This study revealed that the administration of ciplukan leaf extract as an antioxidant increased testicular weight, seminiferous tubules diameter, and spermatozoa with intact plasma membrane in rats exposed to heat.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of mulberry leaf extract on the viability, plasma membrane integrity, and motility of spermatozoa from male white rats (Rattus norvegicus) exposed to e-cigarette smoke. A total of twenty-five male rats were divided into five groups: negative control (NC), positive control (PC), T1, T2, and T3. All groups, except for the NC group, were exposed to e-cigarette smoke. Rats in the T1, T2, and T3 groups received mulberry leaf extract in doses of 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg bw, respectively, while the NC and PC groups were given a placebo of 1% Na-CMC. Both the mulberry leaf extract and the placebo were administered daily, beginning three days prior to the start of e-cigarette smoke exposure, which lasted for 28 days. Results showed that spermatozoa motility, plasma membrane integrity, and viability in the experimental groups were significantly lower than those in the NC group (p <0.05). Conversely, rats in the T1, T2, and T3 groups that received mulberry leaf extract demonstrated significantly greater spermatozoa viability, plasma membrane integrity, and motility compared to the PC group (p <0.05). The T3 group exhibited the most pronounced improvements, with significantly enhanced spermatozoa viability, membrane integrity, and motility (p <0.05) relative to the PC group. These results indicate that mulberry (Morus alba L.) leaf extract enhanced spermatozoa viability, plasma membrane integrity, and motility in white rats (Rattus norvegicus) subjected to e-cigarette smoke.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the best dose of basil leaf extract to add to AndroMed® semen extender to improve spermatozoa quality after freezing and thawing. This study used healthy, normal four-year-old Simmental bulls with good libido. The sample used was fresh semen from Simmental bull collected using an artificial vagina. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with three treatments and six replicates. Ejaculate that met the motility qualification of more than 70%, was divided into three groups, each extended in AndroMed® without the addition of basil leaf extract (T0), with the addition of 0.1% basil leaf extract (T1) and with the addition of 0.3% basil leaf extract (T2). Straw containing semen with 30 million spermatozoa/straw was processed using an IceCube automatic freezer (Minitube, Germany). The results showed that spermatozoa motility, viability, and spermatozoa plasma membrane integrity in the T2 group were higher (p <0.05) than those in the T0 and T1 groups, while spermatozoa morphological abnormalities in the T2 group were lower (p <0.05) than those in the T0 and T1 groups. There were no significant differences (p >0.05) in these parameters between groups T0 and T1. It could be concluded that the addition of 0.3% basil leaf extract to the AndroMed® extender could improve the quality of the semen of Simmental bulls after thawing.

Abstract

This study was conducted at Setia Kawan dairy cattle farming cooperative in Nongkojajar, Pasuruan, East Java to evaluate the effects of different antibiotic treatments on pregnancy sustainability in Holstein Friesian (HF) dairy cows infected with foot and mouth disease (FMD). The objective was to identify which antibiotics have minimal impact on pregnancy outcomes in FMD infected cows. A total of 106 pregnant HF cows infected with FMD were included in this study. Samples were selected using a purposive sampling method with inclusion criteria of pregnant HF dairy cows that tested positive for FMD. Four types of antibiotics were assessed, including enrofloxacin, oxytetracycline, amoxicillin, and penicillin-streptomycin. The results showed that among cows treated with enrofloxacin, 88.46% maintained pregnancy while 11.54% experienced abortion. For oxytetracycline, 73.08% of cows did not abort, whereas 26.92% did. In the amoxicillin group, 61.54% maintained pregnancy and 38.46% aborted. For penicillin-streptomycin, only limited data were available, with 23.07% maintaining pregnancy and no recorded cases of abortion. In conclusion, while variations were observed among different antibiotic treatments, statistical analysis indicated no significant association between antibiotic type and abortion rate in HF cows infected with FMD. Further studies with larger sample sizes are recommended to confirm these findings.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of taurine on the enhancement of the spermatogenetic process in male mice (Mus musculus) induced by paraquat (PQ). Twenty-five male mice (Mus musculus) aged 2-3 months with a bodyweight of around 35 grams were divided randomly into five groups. The K + and the treatment group (P1, P2, and P3) mice were induced using PQ. PQ was given intraperitoneally (IP) twice a week for 21 consecutive days at a dose of 30 mg/kg BW. Two hours after the administration of PQ, P1, P2, and P3 groups were given taurine at a dose of 250, 500, and 1000 mg/kg BW/day for three weeks (Heidari et al., 2019). K- group was given distilled water (IP) only. On day-29, mice were sacrificed for testicles histopathological preparations with hematoxylin-eosin staining. Results showed that the mice exposed to PQ only (the K+ group) had a reduced spermatogenesis score compared to those of the K- group (p <0.05).  Taurine treatment on PQ-exposed mice was followed by an increase spermatogenesis score. The optimal curative dose of taurine was 500 mg/kg (P2 group). However, a higher dose (1000 mg/kg BW) of taurine resulted in a decline in the spermatogenesis score than those of at the 500 mg/kg. It could be concluded that treatment with taurine could enhance the spermatogenetic process of male mice (Mus musculus) induced by PQ.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the quality of Ettawah crossbred buck semen diluted in skim milk, egg yolk-citrate extenders, or their combination, supplemented with epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). Semen was collected from Ettawah crossbred bucks using an artificial vagina. Six ejaculates were used for replication and divided into three extender treatments: T1, skim milk; T2, egg yolk-citrate; and T3, a combination of both, each supplemented with 1.5 µg/mL EGCG. The extended semen was stored in a refrigerator at 5 °C. Diluted samples were evaluated every 24 hours until spermatozoa motility declined to 30%, the minimum requirement for artificial insemination. The results showed that spermatozoa motility, viability, plasma membrane integrity, and morphological abnormality decreased during six days of storage at 5 °C. Spermatozoa motility remained above 30% for five days in T1 (36.50±1.22%) and T2 (41.67±2.06%), and for six days in T3 (43.33±1.03%). On day six, semen in the combined extender supplemented with EGCG (T3) showed significantly higher motility, viability, and membrane integrity, and lower morphological abnormalities (p <0.05) than the other treatments. In T2, all spermatozoa quality parameters were higher (p <0.05) than in T1. It can be concluded that the combined skim milk-egg yolk-citrate extender containing 1.5 µg/mL EGCG best maintained the spermatozoa quality of Ettawah crossbred bucks during six days of storage at 5 °C. Based on spermatozoa motility, the semen remained suitable for artificial insemination.
