Combination of Hormone Implants Enhance Spermatogenesis Suppression in Men A combination of progestin and testosterone created an enhanced suppressive effect on spermatogenesis

چکیده
Christina Wang and colleagues conducted a randomized trial in two centers (California, USA and China) with two treatment groups (non-Chinese and Chinese men, respectively, 40 subjects each group). The primary aim of the study was to compare the efficacy of the combination of the progestin levonorgestrel (LNG) with testosterone (T) implants to that by T implants alone on spermatogenesis suppression ("Levonorgestrel Implants Enhanced the Suppression of Spermatogenesis by Testosterone Implants: Comparison Between Chinese and Non-Chinese Men," Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, February 2006;91(2):460-70).

Male hormonal contraception: suppression of spermatogenesis by injectable testosterone undecanoate alone or with levonorgestrel implants in chinese men.
Monthly injections of testosterone undecanoate (TU) act as a male contraceptive by reversibly suppressing spermatogenesis to azoospermia or severe oligoazoospermia in 95% of Chinese men. In 5% of Chinese men, however, monthly TU administered alone fails to suppress spermatogenesis into contraceptive ranges, or sperm "rebound," leading to occurrences of pregnancy during treatment. Since combinat...

Metronidazole and it’s derivatives are drugs that have both antiprotozoal and anti bacterial effect.The reproductive toxicity of metronidazole has been shown in some studies. To investigate the effect of metronidazole on spermatogenesis in adult male rats, this study was designed. Eighteen wistar male rats (70-90days old) were randomly divided into three groups. Animals in group I (Control grou...
متن کاملAn investigation of the effectiveness of testosterone implants in combination with the prolactin inhibitor quinagolide in the suppression of spermatogenesis in men.
BACKGROUND Administration of testosterone inhibits gonadotrophin secretion and spermatogenesis in men but the degree of response is highly variable. This treatment also stimulates prolactin, itself a progonadal hormone in animals. This study investigated whether concomitant suppression of prolactin (PRL) with the non-ergot, dopamine receptor agonist quinagolide (Q), would enhance the efficacy o...

Hormonally induced azoospermia induced by weekly im injections of testosterone enanthate provides effective and reversible male contraception, but more practical regimens are needed. Given our previous findings that six 200-mg pellets implanted subdermally produced more stable, physiological T levels and reduced the delivered T dose by more than 50% while maintaining equally effective suppressi...
