Gulnaz Amjad MS STUDY OF ELLETARIA CARDAMOM ON HEMATOLOGICAL PARAMETERS, HORMONAL CHANGES AND SPERM COUNT OF THE WHITE MALE RABBITS (Oryctolagus cuniculus)  Generally, a variety of the diseases has been cured by the use of herbal plants like Elettaria cardamom. So, therefore effect of Elettaria cardamom extract to minimize the infertility rate in male rabbits was investigated. The purpose of the current investigation was to ascertain the impact of E. cardamom extract on hormonal changes, hematological parameters and total sperm count of male rabbits. In this perspective four groups of 40 white male rabbits were created namely A, B, C and D and in each group 10 rabbits were placed. Group A, B and C were treated with three different concentrations of ECE 3ml, 2ml and 1ml respectively according to their body weight for 45 days. Group D was given with basal diet this was our control group. Blood samples were obtained to investigate the hormonal concentration, and hematological parameters. Sperm count test was also performed at 15th, 30th and 45th day of the experiment. Findings indicated that the amount of testosterone and total sperm count was considerably higher in the group A as compared to all the other groups and control group. Cardamom extract also had significant effect on level of Luteinizing hormone. ECE treated groups had significant effects on hematological parameters, specifically erythrocyte count, hematocrit, and hemoglobin concentration were increased considerably (p < 0.05) as compared to controlled groups. Then we have concluded, that ECE improves hematological parameters and it has stimulating effect on the testosterone level and sperm count and it also maintain the level of LH hence reduce infertility chances. 2024
Kanwal Nisa MS Studies on the Occurrence of Prostate Cancer in Gujrat, Punjab, Pakistan and its Association with Testosterone Level.  The purpose of the present study is to detect the association between the levels of testosterone with prostate cancer patients by the evaluation of a tumor marker Prostate-specific antigen (PSA). Prevalence was recorded in Gujrat, Punjab, Pakistan. Blood samples of normal and prostate cancer males were taken from Gujrat, Punjab, Pakistan. Information including age, marital status, smoking, Prostate-specific antigen (PSA), testosterone, and any previous record was obtained with the patient’s consent. Exclusion and inclusion criteria were defined. The samples of control and patients were analyzed through ELISA protocol to check the testosterone and Prostate-specific antigen (PSA). Testosterone significantly affects the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) with (P<0.05). In the cases, the mean testosterone, age, PSA was 38.45±36.66, 66.28±6.386 and 9.655±6.656, respectively while in the control group mean testosterone, age and PSA were 194.1±84.08, 59.35±6.794 and 1.295±0.809 respectively. The present study concludes testosterone levels as negatively affected by prostate specific antigen (PSA). The prevalence of Prostate cancer recorded in Gujrat, Punjab, Pakistan was 2%. Our study may prove feasible for the detection of prostate cancer in aged males. Testosterone replacement therapy may prove to be effective in retrieving the complications induced by prostate cancer. 2021
