INTRODUCTION 250 is one of the androgenic- anabolicsteroidsthat usually abused Sustanon@ by athletesand young femalesand malesto have a muscularbody and increasetheir sportive performance(1). The presentstudy aimed to investigatethe adverseeffects induced by Sustanonabuse on reproductive efficiency , that determinedthrough including testosterone, LH and FSH ) , semen measuresomereproductive..hormonss( analysis,fertility percentageand other reproductiveparameters.Testosteroneis derived from cholesterol ( 2) produced and secretedby the interstitial leydig cells ,which constituteabout20 o/oof the massof adult testis(3). It hasa rangeof biological actions. the classicaleffectsof testosteroneare induction and maintenanceof secondarysexual characteristicand preservationof libido ,senseof well being ,lean mass ,bone density(4)and stimulationof protein synthesis(5). Testosteroneis found in the body in three forms as free , Sex Hormone - Binding Globulin (SIIBG) and thesethat are impotently boundedto albumin or cortisol binding globulin (6).Circulatingbound and free testosteroneare collectively referredto as total testosterone(7).LH and FSH are glycoprotein secretedfrom the anterior lobe of pituitary gland as a responseto the releaseof gonadotropicreleasinghormone(GnRtI) from the hypothalamus(8).(FSH) has been implicated in Leydig cell function through its action on Sertoli cells (9) to (11). LH producethe spermcells (10).It is essentialfor initiation of spermatogenesis had been called interstitial cell - stimulatinghormone (2) , it stimulatesLeydig cell productionof testosterone with FSH (12). , It actssynergistically MATERIALS AND METHODS Testosterone ,foilicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and lutenizing hormones(LH)were assayedby using enzyme- linked immunosorbentassay(ELISA) kits specific for rat hormones,manufacturedby USCN Life ScinceInc. in China.

The other 3 groups, which includeeither treatedmale with non treatedfemale or treatedfemalewith non treatedmalesor treatedboth malesand females showedno " pregnancyin all females indicatingcompleteinfertility. DISCUSSION The spermconcentrationin male rats of all treatedgroupswere significantly decreasedcomparedwith the sperm concentrationof control male rats(table3). This finding agreeswith previous studieswhich found that the abuseof supraphysiologieal dosesof anabolicandrogenicfteroids(AAS ) resultedin transientseveroligospermiain malesbecausethe AAS inducedreversiblehypogonadotrophic hypogonadisim(15, 16;and 17).Thelow spermcountof treatedratscouldbe dueto reductionin FSH level induced by testosteroneinjection , becausethe FSH is essentialto .initiate the spermatogenesisin Sertoli cells (2) and for nourishment of sperms( 12 ). The percentagesof viable spenn and that of morphologically normal spenns were significantlydecreasedcomparedwith control group,while the percentageof deadand morphologicallyabnormalspermswere significantly increasedcomparedwith control group(table3) .The findings of Torres{alleja et al. ,2001 (18) that abuseof AAS alone not only reduced the spenn count but also impairs the percentage of morphologicallynormal semen.The reason for the decreasingpercentageof viable and morphologically normal spenns and inueasing the percentageof dead and morphologicallyabnormalsperms,was due to the testosteroneinjection which led to hormonal disturbanceand increasedROS formation as supportedby increasedMDA, and becausethe mammalianspermatozoaaremore vulnerableto lipid peroxidationdue to their cell membranerich with lipids especiallypoly unsaturatedfatty acids(PUFA) are the main substratesfor lipid peroxidation, that may provoke severefunctional disorderof sperm(19) .MDA levelswerenegativelycorrelatedto spermconcentration andmotility which was consistentwith previousreports(20and2l) .lnother studies,it was reported that peroxidation reaction affects membranestructure and fluidity and causesdamageto axonemal proteins leading to a permanentimpairment in sperm motility ( 22; 23 ; and 24).A accordingto (25; 26; and 27) the RoS, in addition to reactingwith the polyunsaturatedfatfy acids,might also react with DNA nucleotides (particularly 8-hydroxy-2' deoxyguanosine) 276 of speffns leading to base Basrahjournalof veterinaryresearch , vol. 11' 4,2012 Collegeof VeterinaryMedicine, of the 3'dinternationalScientificConference, Proceedings Universityof Basrah-Iraq. modifications(oxidativeDNA damage)and DNA fragmentationresultingin alteringthe sperm quality and its impact on reproductiveoutcomes.After 12 weeks of mating period of female and male rats treatedpreviously for 12 weeks with 150 mg / kg injectedweekly to study the reproductiveefficiency abovedoseof B.W.sustanon@250 defiantly had negativeeffectson on rats . It seemsthat the sustanon@250 sustanon@25g fertility percentageof treatedmales and / or females .It is known ( 2) that the FSH receptor -hormone formation at the Sertoli cell results in the initiation of process, thgrefore, the reductionin FSH level in treatedmale serum spermatogenesis may reducethe level of fertility , thus the reasonfor treatedrats infertility could be due causedby damage of leydig cells as a result of to impaired spermatogenesis testosteroneinjection and therefore very low sperm count in treated rats which supportsby seminalanalysis.The productionof abnormalquantitiesof ROS is thought to be involved in male infertility ( 28). Sperm exposedto superoxideanions are apparentlydysfunctionalby lipid peroxidationand alteredmembranefunction , along with impairedmetabolism, morphologyand motility (29) . A accordingto (25;26; and 27) the ROS, in addition to reactingwith the polyunsaturatedfatty acids,might also react with DNA nucleotides (particularly 8-hydroxy-2' deoxyguanosine)of sperms leading to base modifications(oxidativeDNA damage) and DNA fragmentation resulting in alter the spenn quality and its impact on reproductiveoutcomes.Sperm DNA damage is thought to be detrimental to all reproductive tests outcomes, particularly to pregnancyrates(26 ;27; 30 and 31). Many hypothesesexplainedthe origin of sperm DNA damage such as defective chromatin packaging during (32; 25; and33) .The infertility of treatedmale in the presentstudywas spermiogenesis in matchwith somestudies(16 ; l7and, 34).Thetreatedfemale rats infertility may be on ovary secretion(estradiolandprogesterone ) attributedto the effect ofsustanon@250 and gonadohopeinhormones(LH and FSH ) due to damageof ovariantissuein which seemsas a sort atrophy , therefoi.egranulosacells which responsiblefor expressionof the androgenreceptorsto promotefollicle developmentand oocyte maturationwould be affected . Thus androgenscould involve in the regulation of granulosacell death and hence follicular atresia (35). The oxidative stress( induced by sustarion@250 ) affects natural fertility (36). Other studies.havesuggestedthat ROS are involved in various causafive factors of female infertility as peritoneal factor otubal factor, 277 vol.11,4,20L2 research, ofveterinary Basrahjournal Medicine, of Veterinary College Conference, Scientific of the3'dinternational Proceedings of Basrah-Iraq. University endometeriosisand unexplainedinfertility (37 and38 ). According to Polak et al. (39) the antioxidantsconcentrationsin womenwith unexplainedinfertility is lessthan those -induced lipid in fertile women , the above authors found that increasedROS peroxidationdamageresultingin infertility. The presentstudy revealedthat the abusing 250 cause seriousphysiological changesin the most body structures of Sustanon@ ,particularlythe reproductiveorgans;thusaffectedthe fertility . .013..1+ll &Ul (r! 4J*,ulll SsLiSll l$ls flrAi*l Jiiil eJe (sustanon@250) t'.J+'ll*-U.
