Abstract

Exploration to find out new natural contraceptive agent for male is still being developed. Black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) and its main alkaloid piperine have potential antifertility because of sitotoxic and hormonal effects. The aim of this study is to find out the effect of ethanolic extract of black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) fruit of on reproductive hormone serum level, sperm quality, and spermatogenic cell populations in adult male Wistar rat. Twenty five male rats were divided into five groups consisting of two control group, i.e. K(-) (Na-CMC 0.5%), K(+) (finasteride 0.45mg/kg BW), and three groups received different doses of black pepper fruit ethanolic extract, i.e. D(1) (3.33mg/kg BW), D(2) (6.66mg/kg BW) and D(3) (13.32mg/kg BW) respectively. The treatment were given to each group for 55 days. Reproductive parameters were measured, including serum level of reproductive hormones (FSH, LH, dan testosteron), quality of cauda epididymal sperm (spermatozoa concentration, motility and morphological abnormality), spermatogenic cell populations (primary spermato-cyte and spermatid count) and seminiferous tubules diameter. Ethanol extract of black pepper fruit at doses of 3.33mg/kg BW, 6.66mg/kg BW, and 13.32mg/kg BW increased serum FSH level. Extract at dose of 13.32mg/kg BW decreased serum LH level, while extract at doses of 6.66mg/kg BW and 13.32mg/kg BW decreased serum testosterone level. The number of primary spermatocytes, spermatozoa concentration, and spermatozoa motility were decreased by administration of ethanol extract of black pepper fruit with dose of 6.66mg/kg BW and 13.32mg/kg BW. Ethanol extract of black pepper fruit at dose of 6.66mg/kg BW and 13.32mg/kg BW had a negative impact on the male reproductive system and showing potential antifertility in male rat.

Abstract

Testicular damage is a serious complication of diabetes mellitus resulting in male infertility, which is associated with caspase-3 and IGF-1 mRNA expression. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), with its rich growth factor composition, has proven beneficial in regenerative therapy. It is believed that PRP has not been studied in testes for diabetes mellitus and there are no studies in the literature concerning the influence of PRP on expressions of growth factors in testes.The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of adjunctive PRP in insulin treatment for repair of testicular damage in a diabetic rat model. Diabetes was induced by administering single dose 60 mg/kg streptozotocin. Twenty Wistar male rats were divided into four groups: group 1, control group; group 2, diabetes without treatment; group 3, diabetes with treated insulin; and group 4, diabetes with treated insulin and PRP. Rats were euthanized after two weeks of treatment, and testes were taken for caspase-3 and IGF-1 mRNA expression measurements.Diabetes mellitus induction caused a significant increase in caspase-3 mRNA expression with p=0.049 and significant decrease in IGF-1 mRNA expression with p=0.004. There was no difference in caspase-3 and IGF-1 mRNA expression of the diabetic rat testis given insulin and PRP compared to without PRP.
