        Inroduction and Objective:  The different researches have been done to prevent population.Ricinus communishas different propertiesThis study analyzes the effects of preventing castor's generating.Material and Methods: 21 male mice from NMRI species approximately weighing 20-30 gr classified into one control group and two experimental groups. Within 30 days, the experimental groups injected as 35 and 45mg/kg body weight by castor's hydro alcoholic extract and normal saline injected to the control group. 10 days after the mice were last injected, samples taken from their blood and generating organs.The serums transmitted into laboratory for the hormones assessments and some 5 micron transversal cuts taken from their testicles, next they were painted and spermcellular classification counted. The sperm maker's diameter pipes and the germinal layer measured by 10X lens and the cells counted by100X lens. All the data were done by ANOVA statistical method and Tukey test with the p≤ 0.05 meaningful level.Results:A meaningful decrease observed in seminiferous tubules diameterpipes in the 45 mg/kg concentration,germinal diameter layer in experimental groups and the number of spermatogony, primary spermatocyte, sperm and leydig in experimental groups in comparison to control group(0.05>p). The percentage of the moving sperms, the percentage of the sperm's genetic substance and the sperms' morphology demonstrated a meaningful reduction in experimental groups and the hormones assesments.

        Varicocele is one of the most important causes of infertility in men, which in addition to negatively affecting spermatogenesis, can also affect the endocrine system. The link between varicocele and testosterone production is unclear. The liver is one of the most effective organs in the metabolism of substances and hormones. This study aimed to evaluate serum testosterone levels and their association with liver enzymatic changes. Fifty male Wistar rats were divided into 5 groups, including sham control, varicocele induction, varicocele induction (50 mg/kg curcumin), and varicocele induction (100 mg / kg curcumin). After the treatment period, iron (Fe2 +), testosterone, direct bilirubin, total bilirubin and serum concentrations of ALT, and AST were assessed and liver tissue was isolated and examined. Varicocele caused a significant increase in iron levels (p ≤ 0.05) and a non-significant decrease in testosterone levels (p = 0.242) and total bilirubin (T) (p = 0.639). The treatment resulted in a significant decrease in the levels of iron (p = 0.056) and total bilirubin (p = 0.639), as well as a significant increase in testosterone levels (p < 0.05) compared to the varicocele. While the level of direct bilirubin (p ≥ 0.05) in the varicocele showed a significant increase compared to the sham and control. Using curcumin significantly reduced it compared to the varicocele (p = 0.03). Evaluation of ALT (p = 0.762) and AST (p = 0.367) levels did not show a significant difference among the groups. The levels of iron, testosterone, bilirubin, and liver enzymes are negatively affected by varicocele. Curcumin may lessen the harmful effects of varicocele on biochemical components linked with liver tissue in addition to preventing varicocele damage to testicular tissue. In varicocele rats, greater dosages of curcumin may lower the liver enzyme AST. Manuscript profile

        According to highlighted role of men in family planning, the use of reversible methods of contraception with no adverse effects on androgen-dependent metabolic reactions is very important. In order to achieve a conductor combination in the designing contraceptive drugs, in the study, the effect of two drugs: Propylene glycol and Benzyl Ester on histological parameters of seminiferous tubules was investigated. This study was conducted on the 33 rats Sprague-Dawley with weighing 250-300 gr and least 100 days. Then they were divided into a group containing 13 rats and two groups containing 10 rats and were Received respectively 15 mg/kg of Propylene glycol and Benzyl Ester and Normal Saline as subcutaneous injection daily for 60 days. Next, samples of testicular fixative were stained by the usual method (H&E) and Histological parameters of seminiferous tubules were measured through stereometry and morphometry methods. Reduce the Diameter and Perimeter of seminiferous tubules in the group of Benzyl Ester had significant difference with the two other groups while there was not noticeable difference among the three studied groups in terms of seminiferous tubules number. Benzyl ester was more effective on Histological parameters of seminiferous tubules. Thus, with eliminating the cardiovascular effects and Conservation the contraceptives properties, it can be used as a guide combination. Manuscript profile
