The administration of a combination of testosterone undecanoate (TU, a long-acting androgen) and depo-medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) were investigated in term of suppression of rat sperm concentration in vivo to azoospermia through increasing activity of spermatogenic cell caspase 3. Adult Sprague Dawley rats received TU and DMPA of 2.5 mg and 1.25 mg, respectively, a regimen known to rapidly reduce intra testicular testosterone and to produce azoospermia within 12 weeks. Caspase 3 positive sperm cells increased compared with control levels during 6 weeks post-injection and increased further through 60 weeks. Immunohistochemistry for caspase 3 revealed that spermatocytes represented the predominant caspase 3 positive germ cells. Modest immunoreactivity for caspase-3 was localized to nuclear region of the germ cells of control and treated testes. Immunohistochemistry study revealed significantly increased caspase-3 expression in nuclei of germ cells during administration of TU+DMPA to rats. Additionally, the caspase 3 content was significantly increased in germ cells during rats were administered TU+DMPA (453.90Â±84.88 cells/200 seminiferous tubules) and caspase 3 significant increase in immunoreactivity was localized to the nuclei of spermatogonia, spermatocytes, and spermatids. Taken together, these results indicated that azoospermia due to reduced intratesticular testosterone concentration was caspase-3 activation dependent and suggested that the increase in active caspase-3 in the nucleus may be involved in the induction of decreased sperm production.

Women of reproductive ages are varies in their responses to exogenous FSH stimulations. The difference of FSHR genotype due to the polymorphisms in exon 10 is one of its significant factors. To know further whether the core promoter of FSHR is also polymorphic and to know whether those polymorphisms influence the promoter activity, we did polymorphism screening of FSHR promoter to 262 women undergoing IVF/ICSI, followed by functional study to know the impact of polymorphisms to the promoter activity. This study indicated that the core promoter of human FSHR is polymorphic. We found five SNPs at positions â29, â37, â114, â123 and â138 in addition to the variety number of adenines. Polymorphism at position â123 significantly decreased the promoter activity, in contrast, polymorphism at position â37 and â138 significantly increased the promoter activity, whereas polymorphism at position â29, â114 and short adenines stretch did not significantly influence the promoter activity. The differences of the promoter activities due to polymorphisms might change the ovarian sensitivity to FSH.

Spermatogenesis impairment is the main cause of infertility in men. Androgen is believed to play a critical role in regulating spermatogenesis. Androgen acts by binding to the androgen receptor (AR) which is a protein regulator of DNA transcription. Exon 1 of AR gene contains a CAG repeat length polymorphism and it is believed to interfere AR function. This study includes DNA isolation from peripheral blood and amplification of CAG repeat fragments by PCR method. CAG repeat lengths were determined by electrophoresis on 6% denaturing gel polyacrylamide. We found that the mean CAG repeat lengths were 24,3 Â± 3,4 in oligozoospermic/azoospermic men and 22,7 Â± 2,7 in normozoospermic men. The difference in CAG repeat length between the two groups was statistically significant (p = 0,031, t-test). Nevertheless, there was no correlation between CAG repeat lengths and sperms concentration (rs = -0,038; p = 0,775). This result suggest that the expansion of CAG repeat length was not the main cause of spermatogenesis impairment.

Background: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a multifactorial genetic disease, characteristically endemic and showsÂ considerable differences in its geographical distribution. Besides infection with EBV, genetic factors such as polymorphismsÂ of TCR-Î² gene contribute to the incidence of NPC. This study investigates the association of TCR-Î² gene polymorphismsÂ with individual susceptibility to develop NPC in Indonesian ethnic groups.Methods: The study was carried out by the PCR-RFLP method using Bgl II restriction enzyme to digest TCR-Î² gene. TheÂ PCR-RFLP analysis of TCR-Î² gene was used to determine allotypes of TCR-Î² gene in NPC patients and control amongÂ ethnic Chinese and indigenous groups in the population of Indonesia.Results: The results indicate that the distribution of TCR-Î² gene allotypes between NPC patients and controls are notÂ significantly different (p > 0.05); however, the frequency of A allele tends to increase in NPC patients. The distribution ofÂ TCR-Î² gene allotypes between Chinese ethnic group was not signifi cantly different from indigenous groups (p > 0.05).Conclusion: The distribution of TCR-Î² gene allele between NPC group and control groups showed no difference. TheÂ distribution of TCR-Î² gene between ethnic Chinese and indigenous groups showed no difference. Polymorphisms of TCR-Î²Â gene are not associated with NPC and ethnic groups in Indonesian population. (Med J Indones 2011; 20:171-7)Keywords: EBV, NPC, polymorphism, susceptibility, TCR-Ã gene

Effect of Injection Minimal Dosages of Depot Medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) to Body Weight and Blood Chemistry Male Rat Strain Sprague-Dawley. Many family planning program focus more on men. Until now, vasectomy has been the commonly used method for male contraception. However, this method creates inconvenience such as irreversibility and psychological problems. One of the alternatives contraception is the combination of depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) and androgen. The minimum dosage of DMPA could suppress testosterone level that leads to reduced spermatogenesis and sperm viability. Nevertheless, until now it is not known whether minimum dosages of DMPA have an effect to body weight and blood chemistry. Therefore, this research aimed at determinate the effect of minimal dosages of DMPA to body mass and blood chemistry using male rats (Rattus norvegicus L.) strain Sprague-Dawley as model. This research using completely randomized design, unequal size sample, castration treatments and several doses DMPA (1.25, 0.625, and 0.313 milligram). Injecting of DMPA conducted intramuscularly on week 0 and week 12. Normality/homogeneity Data normality were analyzed before ANOVA test. Then, abnormal data were tested using Kruskal-Wallis test. The result shows that injection of DMPA in various doses do not have an effect on body weight and blood chemistry such as erytrocytes, haemoglobin, hematocrite, HDL, LDL, total cholesterol, SGOT, SGPT and triglyseride) (p>0,05). Furthermore, it is concluded that that no effect of minimal dosages of DMPA to body mass and blood chemistry of rat.

The development of male hormonal contraception is based on a decrease in sperm concentration without affecting libido and sexual potency. The combination of depot medroxy progesterone acetate (DMPA) + extract of Javanese long pepper (JLP) with dosages of 0.94 mg and 1.88 mg decreases the concentration of spermatozoa. However, it remains unknown whether the combination influences body weight, hematology, and blood biochemistry. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the effect of DMPA + JLP extracts on the body weight, hematology, and blood biochemistry of male rats (Rattusnorvegicus L.) using Sprague-Dawley strains. The research uses a completely randomized design (CRD); one group control and two treatment groups. In the first group, the castrated rats were given oral administration extracts of JLP (CJ) with doses of 0, 0.94, 1.88, 2.82, and 3.76 mg. In the second group, the rats were injected with 1.25 mg DMPA and given an oral administration extract of JLP. Injection was given in week-0 and 12. Administration was conducted every day from week 7-18. Analysis of the normality and homogeneity of data is done before the ANOVA test. Data that is abnormal and not homogeneous are tested with non-parametric statistical Kruskal-Wallis. This study shows that the combination of minimal doses of DMPA and administration variousdoses of extracts of JLP does not affect body weight and hematology (erythrocyte, hemoglobin, hematocrite), and the blood biochemistry of rats, such as the values of SGPT, SGOT, HDL, and triglycerides (p < 0.05), but rather the total cholesterol and LDL (p < 0.05). Furthermore, it is concluded that the combination of the minimal dosage of DMPA and weaned various dosages of JLP extracts affect the total value and LDL cholesterol but do not influence body weight, nor hematology and blood biochemistry. Such combinations can be drawn on for asafe male contraceptive model t by taking into account the value of the total cholesterol and LDL during its use.
