Electron Microscopic Observations of Testis in Normal and Experimental Rat and Bonnet Monkey (Macaca radiata)

Abstract

The spiralling rise of the population is a global concern. No nation, however, advanced or undeveloped, can afford to be complacent regarding the hazards of this uncontrolled human population growth. All Demographers realize that the goal of controlling human fertility can be achieved through in-depth understanding of the basic cellular and molecular events in male and female reproduction. Besides the various classical methods of male contraception; the use of condoms, interrupted coitus and vasectomy, currently people are more interested in developing a new endocrinological method, in the form of hormonal contraceptives, to induce reversible azoospermia in healthy and fertile men. In principle, the endocrinological approaches have the potential to interrupt the male reproductive system in a more natural fashion to effectively produce a non-fertile but otherwise functionally competent state. In this context, the most appropriate form would be the long-acting injectable contraceptive, which obviously provides a prolonged protection and is easy to administer.
