- W4322753837 abstract "The present study was planned to investigate the anti-spermatogenic and anti-steroidogenic effects of Clomiphene Citrate (CC) an anti-estrogen and Mifepristone (MT) an anti-progesterone in the testis of male rats. Following the oral administration of 1.0 mg and 5.0 mg/kg b.w/day of each for the duration of 30 and 60 days, quantitation of spermatogenesis, RIA for serum and intra-testicular testosterone levels, western blotting and RT-PCR for expression of StAR, 3β-HSD and P450arom enzymes in the testis was done. Clomiphene Citrate at 5.0 mg/kg b.w/day for 60 days significantly reduced testosterone (T) levels however the effect was not significant with the lower doses. Reproductive parameters in animals treated by Mifepristone remained mostly unaffected, however, a significant decline in testosterone levels and altered expression of selected genes was observed in 5.0 mg for the 30d treatment group. Clomiphene Citrate at higher doses affected the weights of the testis and secondary sex organs. Seminiferous tubules revealed hypo-spermatogenesis with a significant decrease in the number of maturing germ cells and a reduction in tubular diameter. Attenuation in serum testosterone was associated with the downregulation of expression in StAR, 3β-HSD, and P450arom mRNA and protein levels in the testis even after 30 d of CC administration. The results indicate that the anti-estrogen (Clomiphene Citrate) but not anti-progesterone (Mifepristone) induces hypo-spermatogenesis in rats which are associated with a downregulation of expression of two of the steroidogenic enzymes, 3β-HSD and P450arom mRNA and StAR protein." @default.
