چکیده

background: gonadotropin releasing hormone conjugate (gnrh-bsa) raises antibodies against biologically active gonadotropin releasing hormone (gnrh) which affects body weight, gonadosomatic indices (gsi) and sperm quality in male mice. objective: the objective of this experimental investigation is to develop an effective and reliable hormonal immunocontraceptive vaccine to suppress spermatogenesis by using gnrh-bsa conjugate. materials and methods: forty sexually mature mice, mus musculus were divided into two groups of twenty each. group 1, served as control, while group 2 were immunized at monthly intervals for four times against gnrh with a gnrh-bsa conjugate (50 µg) with aqueous adjuvant (freund's adjuvant). after 30 days of each immunization, body weight, gsi and sperm quality were observed in the immunized groups and compared with the control group. results: body weight showed alterations in immunized animals as compared to control. however, gsi, sperm motility, sperm count and sperm morphology were significantly decreased in immunized animals throughout the experimental investigation and these effects were more prominent and significant in the later part of the experiment. conclusion: these results suggested that the active immunization against gnrh produced bioeffective antibodies as indicated by significant reduction in gsi level and sperm quality and induced infertility in male mice.

Effects of Kamdhenu Ark and Active Immunization by Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone Conjugate (GnRH-BSA) on Gonadosomatic Indices (GSI) and Sperm Parameters in Male Mus musculus

BACKGROUND Active immunization against GnRH decreases the secretion of gonadotropins and causes cessation of gonadal function, thereby, inducing infertility. Based on the immunoenhancing activity of Kamdhenu ark (distilled cow urine), this study was performed to evaluate its effects on the gonadosomatic indices (GSI) and sperm parameters in male mice receiving a GnRH contraceptive vaccine. ME...

Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH) Receptor Structure and GnRH Binding

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) regulates reproduction. The human GnRH receptor lacks a cytoplasmic carboxy-terminal tail but has amino acid sequence motifs characteristic of rhodopsin-like, class A, G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). This review will consider how recent descriptions of X-ray crystallographic structures of GPCRs in inactive and active conformations may contribute to und...

Interactions of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone (GnIH) in birds and mammals.

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) regulates secretion of both of the gonadotropins, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone. Thus, it is a key hormone for vertebrate reproduction. GnRH was considered to be unusual among hypothalamic neuropeptides in that it appeared to have no direct antagonist, although some neurochemicals and peripheral hormones (opiates, GABA, gonadal s...
