Effect of Nicotine on Reproductive Hormones in Adult Male Mice (Mus musculus)
نویسندگان
چکیده
The study was conducted to determine the direct effect of nicotine administration on reproductive hormones in adult male mice (Mus musculus). Adult mice (n=60) were randomly divided into two groups viz. experimental (n=40) and control (n=20) groups. Experimental group was injected with nicotine subcutaneously (1mg/ kg body weight); whereas, the control group was administered with normal saline solution subcutaneously for 6 weeks. At the end of six weeks, blood was collected to determine the concentrations of luteinizing hormone and testosterone using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results showed that nicotine significantly (p < 0.05) decreased the levels of luteinizing hormone and testosterone in the experimental group compared to the control group. It was concluded that intake of nicotine may cause some deleterious effects on reproductive hormones in mice.

Comparative genetic mapping provides insights into the evolution of the reproductive barriers that separate closely related species. This approach has been used to document the accumulation of reproductive incompatibilities over time, but has only been applied to a few taxa. House mice offer a powerful system to reconstruct the evolution of reproductive isolation between multiple subspecies pai...
