Abstract

This study aims to determine changes related to epididymal sperm parameters in mice given cogon grass root ethanol extract (CGREE). The experiment was carried out by dividing three groups of mice aged 4-week old (early pubertal), 8-week old (adult), and 24-week old (old) as control and treatment groups. The treatment groups were given 115 mg/kg body weight of CGREE for 14 days. The mice were sacrificed on day 15 to asses reproductive organ indexes and quality of the epididymal sperm. Index of epididymis and ductus deferens indices significantly reduced in the 4-week old treatment group compared to control (0.23 vs 0.33; 0.08 vs 0.16,  respectively), and vesical seminal significantly reduced in 8- week old treatment group compared to control (0.76  vs  0.68). The epididymal sperm quality significantly decreased in all treatment groups, but the sperm concentration in early pubertal group showed an increase. These results indicate that CGREE can enhance several semen parameters in prepubertal and adult mice but this effect is not apparent in old mice.

Abstract

Background : A decrease in testosterone level can cause a set of symptoms forming a clinical syndrome called hypogonadism. One of the factors that is known to disrupt testosterone levels is smoking habits. Currently, the use of e-cigarettes as an alternative product to conventional cigarettes is increasing rapidly in many countries, including Indonesia. The amounts of harmful substances in e-cigarette aerosols are similar to the smoke produced by conventional cigarettes, but the health hazards of e-cigarettes are still not well known. Objective : This study was conducted to determine the relationship between e-cigarettes and hypogonadism in adult men in the city of Denpasar. Method: This study uses a descriptive-analytical method in the form of a cross-sectional study. The research sample consisted of 49 e-cigarette users collected using consecutive sampling techniques. The data were then analyzed using SPSS® version 26. Results : Based on the research obtained from the ADAM score from a total of 49 samples, the prevalence of hypogonadism is higher in the group of people who smoked e-cigarettes, about 35,3%. Overall, this study found a fairly high prevalence of hypogonadism (26.5%) in Denpasar. The chi-square test shows a p-value of 0,032 and a prevalence ratio (PR) of 5.294. Conclusions : Active use of e-cigarettes showed a significant association with the incidence of hypogonadism experienced by adult men in Denpasar. Based on the PR calculation, the risk of hypogonadism in active e-cigarette users was 5.294 times higher than that of adult men who were not active e-cigarette users.
