Administration of acetylcholine to the spermatic nerve plexus inhibits testosterone secretion in an in vitro isolated rat testis-nerve plexus system.
Zhu C, Palmada MN, Aguado LI, Cavicchia JC.
Department of Biology at Capital Normal University in Beijing, China.
Strong evidence indicated that spermatic nerves are involved in the regulation of testosterone secretion. Our previous work showed that the inferior spermatic nerves play a more significant role than the superior ones in the regulation of testosterone secretion. However, it is unknown whether traditional neurotransmitters are involved in this regulation. In order to evaluate this point, the present experiments were carried out in an in vitro system where an isolated testis-spermatic nerve plexus preparation was incubated in two separate containers, one for the testis and the other for the nerve plexus and both interconnected by the inferior spermatic nerves. Both tissues were maintained in the same environmental conditions except for the neurotransmitter treatment, applied only to the nerve plexus. Acetylcholine can significantly inhibit the secretion of testosterone until the end of incubation. The present experiments suggest that the secretion of testosterone could be regulated, at least in part, by acetylcholine through the inferior spermatic nerves.

It is well established that congenital hypothyroidism leads to male infertility. However, there is a dearth of information on foetal-onset hypothyroidism-induced changes in the epididymis. With regard to transient hypothyroidism, the existing literature deals mainly with the testis. However, it is not known whether there is any corresponding alteration in epididymal morphology and physiology under such a condition. The present study is therefore aimed at understanding the impact of persistent and transient hypothyroidism on the concentration of epididymal sex steroids, as they play a vital role in maintaining the normal structure and function of the epididymis. Normal rats of 90 days of age served as controls (Group I). Hypothyroidism was induced by using pregnant/lactating mothers and post-weaning rats to 0.05% (w/v) methimazole (MMI) in the drinking water. Group II were subjected to persistent hypothyroidism from day 9 of post-coitum (pc) to 90 days. Group III rats were subjected to transient hypothyroidism from day 9 day pc to day 1 post-partum (pp), 21 pp or 35 pp (IIIa, b and c, respectively) and group IV rats were given simultaneous T3 supplementation (3 microg/100 g body wt./day i.m.) with MMI from day 9 pc to day 1 pp; 21 pp and 35 pp (Group IVa, b and c). Animals from all groups were killed on day 90 pp. Serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and thyroid hormones confirmed euthyroidism in group I, IIIa, b and c and IVa, b and c rats and hypothyroidism in group II rats. Caput and cauda epididymal concentration of testosterone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), estradiol (E2) and androgen binding protein (ABP) markedly decreased in group II rats. While the concentration of testosterone, E2 and ABP increased in group III rats, that of DHT remained unaltered. However, group IV rats maintained normal concentration of the sex steroid and ABP. The activity of 5-alpha-reductase in the epididymis of all the groups followed the same trend as that of the concentration of epididymal DHT. From the present data it is evident that persistent hypothyroidism diminishes the bioavailability of androgens and oestrogens, while transient hypothyroidism enhances the same, indicating the importance of euthyroidism during foetal and neonatal period towards the maintenance of optimal hormonal status in the epididymis required for its maturation.

Incisionless in-office castration using a veterinary castration device (Burdizzo clamp).
Herzog ME, Santucci RA.
Department of Urology, Wayne State University School of Medicine, Detroit, Michigan 48167, USA.
Nonoperative ablation of the testicular artery has been described in animals using the Burdizzo clamp, but not in humans. We report a case of incisionless castration performed using local anesthesia, in a transsexual who wished to avoid the pain, expense, and scar associated with the open procedure. The Burdizzo clamp crushed the spermatic cord bilaterally, and the testis was allowed to atrophy. The soft-tissue damage was minimal, and the serum testosterone fell to castrate levels. This method has proved useful for castration in a transgender patient, but could also be used for castration in patients with advanced prostate cancer.

Comparative study of human steroid 5alpha-reductase isoforms in prostate and female breast skin tissues: sensitivity to inhibition by finasteride and epristeride.

Steroid 5alpha-reductase (5-AR) catalyses the reduction of testosterone (T) to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). The 5alpha-reductase found in human benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) has been compared with that found in human breast skin tissue in respect of sensitivity to inhibition by Finasteride and Epristeride. Kinetic studies showed the presence of two isoforms of 5alpha-reductase in benign prostatic hyperplasia indicated by low and high Km isoforms for testosterone, while female breast skin tissue contained only one isoform. The isoforms differ in their affinity for the inhibitors Finasteride and Epristeride, both compounds being more effective for the low Km 5alpha-reductase isoform than the high Km 5alpha-reductase of prostatic tissue, with Finasteride displaying competitive inhibition and Epristeride uncompetitive. Finasteride and Epristeride are also inhibitors of skin 5alpha-reductase, which possesses a comparable Ki for Finasteride to that of the low Km prostatic enzyme, but Epristeride was a less potent inhibitor of the skin enzyme relative to the prostate isoform. These results suggest that the inhibitors have therapeutic potential, other than for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia, for treating skin disorders influenced by the action of dihydrotestosterone and warrant further investigation.

Due to the complexity , the biological process of hair growth is still a work in progress. Nonetheless, several therapeutic methods including prescription medications, transplant surgery, nutritional suppelements, and even snake oils have been in use to help those who attempt to restore their hair. None of these approaches are perfect due to the heterogeneity in the causes that underlie hair loss. Unfortunately, most of these chemical drugs and hair transplantation operations are accompanied by undesirable side effects.
Hair Million of Dream Pharm provides an alternative approach to hair loss problems. Numerous anecdotal cases have demonstrated that this herbal formula based on the authentic Chinese herbs from Chinese Pharmacopoeia actually improves the age-related hair thinning and hair loss among a significant fraction of people who take it as suggested. We still do not understand the mechanisms of action as to how Hair Million works to stop hair loss and promote hair growth, despite all the positive anecdotal demonstration. Neither scientific research nor placebo controlled clinical analysis has been conducted due to the high cost of such trials. Lack of scientific/clinical research is quite common in herbal arena. Just because science hasn't scrutinized doesn't mean we should stop taking daily food and herbal supplements altogether: our life must go on until we have better understandings of food and herb that we have been taking generation after generation. There are two merits in this hair restoration herbal formula: Firstly, Hair Million is relatively inexpensive compared with other methods, and secondly, it is made of edible herbs that are known to be safe when consumed in regular quantities.
DHEA is a natural hormone, and it is produced in our body by the adrenal glands.
DHEA has been suggested to provide numerous potential benefits. DHEA (or dehydroepiandrosterone) is converted into androgens (male hormones)
or estrogens (female hormones) in the cells.
