Ghrelin is a novel growth hormone-releasing peptide, originally identified in rat stomach as an endogenous ligand of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor. Ghrelin is an important regulator of growth hormone secretion, food intake, and reproductive function. This study investigates whether or not ghrelin can modulate prepubertal pig ovary function, which was measured as ovarian estradiol secretion, aromatase activity, cell proliferation, and apoptosis. To investigate this, ovarian cells were co-cultured with four different doses of ghrelin (100, 250, 500, and 1000 pg/ml) for 48 h. Culture media samples were collected, and estradiol levels were determined, while aromatase expression was measured in the cultured cells. Cell apoptosis was measured by determination of caspase-3 activity, DNA fragmentation and TUNEL assay. Ghrelin in 250 and 500 pg/ml doses stimulated estradiol secretion. At all doses ghrelin stimulated aromatase activity and protein expression. Moreover, ghrelin increased cell proliferation and decreased apoptosis. This study provides novel evidence that ghrelin has a modulatory effect in the ovary. We suggest two mechanisms that explain how ghrelin acts on estradiol secretion: 1) ghrelin directly influences aromatase activity and protein expression; 2) ghrelin stimulates cell proliferation and antiapoptotic actions.

In this study we examined the mechanism of action of Dieldrin on the reproductive function in adult male rats. Experimental data suggest that exposure to pesticide at 3 and 6mg/kg/day for 10 consecutive days, induced a dose-dependant decrease of the number and the mobility of epididymal spermatozoa. Tes­ticle histological analysis shows alteration of spermatogenesis with marked reduce of gametes production combined with reduction in the seminiferous tubule diameters in treated relative to control. Concentration of plasma testosterone dropped significantly in a dose-dependent manner after exposure to Dieldrin, while circulating levels of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and weight of accessory sex glands were not affected significantly. Thus, it may be concluded that Dieldrin exposure can impair both testicle gametogenesis and steroidogenesis in adult rats.
