Abstract:

Purpose: Both initiation and maintenance of spermatogenesis are hormonally regulated by FSH and testosterone.In this study the effects of FSH,and testosterone on in vitro maturation round spermatids were determind. Materials and Methods: Cell suspension was isolated from testis of NMRI male mice (8-10 weeks old) and divided inio two groups. The first part was cultured in medium containing DMEM & FBS (10%) and the second part cultured in medium containing DMEM & FBS (10%) suppelemented with FSH and testosteron. The number of round, elongating and elongated spermatids, before and during culture were accounted daily for 96 hr using light microscope. Survival rates of all kinds of spermatids were evaluated using trypan blue test and the results of every group were compared statistically by a repeated measure ANOVA. Results: The results of this study showed that the number of round spermatid cells " specimen cultured in medium suppelemented with FSH and testosterone redured on the first 24 hrs but elongating and elongated spermatid cells increased. Between 24 to 96 hrs the cells of both groups (control and experimental) reduced. The differences between two groups were significant and most of the control group cells died at the end of culture period. Viability rates of all kinds of spermatid cells reduced during 96 hrs culture in both groups. Conclusion: Results of this study confirm that round spermatid cells can progress into elongating and elongated cells only over the first 24 hrs of culture period in specimen cultured on medium supplemented with FSH and testosterone.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop an appropriate medium for in vitro maturation (IVM) of immature mouse oocytes. Materials and Methods: Germinal vesicle of female NMRI mouse oocytes (6-8 weeks old) were collected from ovaries and cultured in maturation medium MEM-a, supplemented with: 100 mlIU/ml rFSH+7.5 IU/ml hCG+5% FCS (Control group) and 2mM all- trans retinoic acid (t-RA) ...

P-87: High Fat Diet Affects In Vitro Maturation and In Vitro Fertilization of Mouse Oocytes

Background: Physiological effects of obesity are increasingly common in women of reproductive age and are associated with infertility. Obese women have dysfunction in hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, menstrual cycle and are up to three times more likely to have decreased oligo-/anovulation. The purpose of present study was to evaluate the high fat diet on IVM and IVF outcomes in mouse. Mate...

FSH and testosterone signaling in Sertoli cells.

Testosterone and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) are required to obtain full reproductive potential. In the testis, somatic Sertoli cells transduce signals from testosterone and FSH into the production of factors that are required by germ cells as they mature into spermatozoa. Recent advances in identifying new signaling pathways that are regulated by FSH and testosterone have allowed for re...
