Effect of Gonadotrophin (Diclair®) on Semen Characteristics, Hormonal Profile and Biochemical Constituents of the Seminal Plasma of Mature Balami Rams

Abstract

Abstract. Twelve sexually matured (2-2.6 years old) healthy Balami rams were used to determine the effect of Gonadotrophin (Diclair ® ) on semen characteristics, body conformation and hormonal profile. The rams were divided into 3 treatment groups of 4 rams, identified as T1 (control), administered with 1.00 mL physiological saline, T2, administered with 54.00 i.u Diclair ® (0.36 mL), T3, administered with 108.00i.u Diclair ® (0.72 mL) with one ram per replicate in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The injections were divided into three doses each and administered intramuscularly in the thigh for three consecutive days. The results showed that there were significant differences (P < 0.05) among the treatment groups in all the parameters for semen quality: semen volume, individual motility, sperm concentration, proportions of live, normal and dead sperm cells except semen pH which was similar (P > 0.05) among the treatment groups. The results further showed that there were significant differences (P < 0.05) among the treatment groups in luteinizing hormone (LH) and testosterone levels in the serum. However, there were no significant differences (P>0.05) among the treatment groups follicle stimulating hormone(FSH) level in the serum. Similarly, the results showed that there were significant differences (P < 0.05) among the treatment groups in urea, glycerophosphocholine, ascorbic acid, sodium, potassium, bicarbonate and fructose levels in the seminal plasma. The results of this study showed that Diclair ® enhanced semen quality and was not detrimental to the hormonal profile and biochemical constituents of the seminal plasma of the Balami rams.

Plasma α‐L‐fucosidase‐1 in patients with Sjögren's syndrome and other rheumatic disorders

“…Food contamination, whether of microbial or chemical origin, might be considered a causative form of fucosidase activity and its relationship with inflammatory disorders . Possible means to overcome the pro‐inflammatory activity of factors related to α‐L‐FUCA‐1 expression and SS were retrieved from different plant‐derived substances …”

“…31,32 Possible means to overcome the pro-inflammatory activity of factors related to α-L-FUCA-1 expression and SS were retrieved from different plant-derived substances. [33][34][35][36] The evaluation of glycosidases, such as α-L-FUCA-1 in plasma or serum may represent an inexpensive, assay that is easy to handle and perform, a sensitive test for the differential diagnosis of rheumatic disorders, particularly in children, where misleading diagnoses is yet possible. The present study would encourage further research on the issue and expand the debate about the usefulness of α-L-FUCA-1 assay in biological fluids for monitoring rheumatic diseases, and possibly coming into the spotlight as a new diagnostic marker for SS in children.…”

Spectrophotometric and chromatographic strategies for exploring of the nanostructure pharmaceutical formulations which contains testosterone undecanoate

“…Later, two other steroids were developed, tetrahydrogestrinone (THG) and Madol (17α-methyl-5α-androst-2-en-17β-ol). Like many other the prohormones their efficiency and toxicity are unclear 14 . The metabolism of ASA compounds is internal and follows that of testosterone and other steroids 15 .…”

“…7,[43][44][45] Problems related to the production or use of MSG have also been linked to a number of mental health disorders, including autism, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (TOC) and schizophrenia. 46,47 Glutamate has many important functions in the brain, in addition to transmitting chemical messages from one nervous cell to another. Too much MSG can affect nerve cells and brain.…”
