Effect of an Indigenous Drug (Speman) on Human Accessory Reproductive Function
نویسنده
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Although rapid progress has been made in improving fertility in women, the treatment of an infertile male has remained very unsatisfactory. This situation is partly due to paucity of our knowledge regarding the factors controlling spermatogenesis in man. The role of testosterone and gonadotropins in the maintenance of spermatogenesis is not clearly understood (Steinberger, 1971). No consistent improvement in the functions of the testis and the accessory reproductive organs has been reported on administration of testosterone, gonadotropins or clomiphene to infertile men (Zarate et al, 1973).

The effect of an indigenous drug, Speman, on the accessory reproductive organs was observed on castrated adult mice and on immature intact mice. The dose related growth of ventral prostate and the systemic increase in the weights as well as the secretions of accessory sex organs of the castrated adults treated with Speman indicated that the drug possessed anabolic-cum-androgen like activity

The avianuncoupling protein (avUCP) is a member of the mitochondrial transporter superfamily that uncouples proton entry in the mitochondrial matrix from ATP synthesis. The polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method was used to estimate the allele and genotype frequencies of the UCP/HhaI polymorphisms and to determine associations between these polymorp...
