Abstract

|
This study was performed using histochemical and immunohistochemical methods to investigate the effect of Gami-Shinkiwhan(GS) on reproductive function of male aged mice. 8-weeks-old ICR mice were used as control group, without any treatment, and 15-month-old ICR mice were used as aging elicited group(AE) and Gami-Shinkiwhan treatment group(GS). AE group didn’t restrict diets and drinking for 6 months without any treatment. GS was administered 0.56g/kg/day for 6 months. Compared with AE group, the cell division of sertoli cells, spermatids, and spermatogonial cells was increased and the apoptosis of sertoli cells was decreased on GS group. Androgen receptor positive reaction and 17β-HSD positive reaction were significantly increased in the GS group compared to AE group. In addition, the DJ-1 positive reaction was significantly increased and the HDAC3 positive response was significantly decreased in the GS group compared with AE group. Based on the above results, GS prevented the apoptosis of sertoli cells in the tubules, and increased the production of sertoli cells, spermatozoa and testosterone. Based on this, it is thought that it improves male reproductive dysfunction caused by late-onset hypogonadism.
