The study investigated comparatively the effects of active immunization of Cetrorelix and Triptorelin on the follicle development, histological structures, and expressions of FSHR and LHR proteins in the ovary. One hundred and five female mice, 35 days old, and body weight of 26.56 ± 2.89 g, were randomly assigned into Cetrorelix (CET), Triptorelin (TRI) and control groups (CG). Mice in CET-1, CET-2 and CET-3 (n = 15) were subcutaneously injected with 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 mL Cetrorelix antigen (100 μg/mL) for seven days, respectively. Mice in TRI-1, TRI-2 and TRI-3 were injected with 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 mL Triptorelin antigen (100 μg/mL) for seven days. Mice in CG (n = 15) were injected with 0.2 mL saline for seven days. Western blotting was utilized to determine the expressions of follicle stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) and luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR) proteins. ELISA was used to measure the serum FSH and LH concentrations. The ovarian slices were observed under optical microscopy. The results showed that the ovarian weights of CET and TRI groups increased slightly with a maximum increment of 27.02% of CET-1 mice on day 35. Ovarian weights in TRI group increased dose-dependently with a maximum increment of 45.77% in TRI-3 on day 35. The numbers of the primordial follicle (POF), primary follicle (PF), secondary follicle (SF) and mature follicle (MF) of CET and TRI groups increased at different degrees when compared to CG. The granular layer in SF was arranged tightly and zona pellucida (ZP) was thickened. Follicles developed fully. Follicle longitudinal diameter (FLD), follicle transverse diameter (FTD) and follicle wall thickness (FWT) in CET and TRI groups increased as compared to CG. FLD, FTD and FWT of TRI-3 had a larger increment than CG and CET-1 on days 21 and 35. Expression levels of FSHR and LHR proteins in TRI group increased when compared to CG. Expression levels of FSHR and LHR proteins of CET group decreased. Serum FSH of TRI group was slightly higher than the CG and CET group on day 21. On day 35, serum FSH levels of CET-1 and TRI-1 were greater than CG and the rest of the subgroups. Serum FSH levels had no significant differences among all groups. Expression levels of LHR and FSHR proteins in CET group had obvious negative correlations to FLD, FTD and FWT. However, in the TRI group, these correlations were positive. In conclusion, Cetrorelix and Triptorelin immunization could improve ovarian growth, increase the follicle numbers, enhance dose-dependently the FLD, FTD and FWT, and eventually promote the ovary and follicle development. Cetrorelix decreased expression levels of FSHR and LHR proteins in the ovaries of mice. Triptorelin enhanced expression levels of FSHR and LHR proteins. Triptorelin treatment had more obvious effects than Cetrorelix treatment.

Despite worldwide anti-smoking campaigns, cigarette smoking prevalence is increasing in the third-world countries. It is now regarded as the most important public health issue. Here, we study the current smoking situation and investigate the impact of cigarette smoking on semen quality and hormonal levels among adult people. Furthermore, we suggest various strategies to reduce smoking consumption among young individuals. A cross-sectional data from 804 adult smoker subjects (male n=530 and female n=274) aged between 15 and 45 years were analyzed. One hundred and eleven males were agreed for further evaluation of their semen quality and hormones compared with 93 age-matched non-smoking males. This study showed that the major factors initiating smoking among women were friends' influence (49%), life pressures (16%) and parental imitation (14%). The major reasons in men was friends' influence (65%). Furthermore, 61% of women and 89% of men smoke in public implying social acceptance or even en-couragement of this habit. This study also found that low-income Jordanians consume more tobacco materials than those in the middle- and higher income. Furthermore, smokers had significantly lower (p<0.001) sperm concentration and motility values and higher (p<0.001) serum testosterone and luteinizing hormone (LH) levels than non-smokers.
