Background: Although there was some evidence to suggest that the serotonergic system in the brain played an important role in premature ejaculation (PE), tryptophan hydroxylase-2 (TPH2) is considered to be the key enzyme for the synthesis of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and few studies have reported that brain TPH2 is involved in the regulation of ejaculation.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate whether changes in brain TPH2 levels were associated with PE and to explore the effects of acute administration of dapoxetine on TPH2 expression in the brain of rats with rapid ejaculation.

Materials And Methods: Based on the ejaculation frequency, the male rats were split into three groups: "rapid," "normal," and "sluggish" ejaculators.

Limited evidence has indicated that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) may be involved in the neurobiology of premature ejaculation (PE). This study aimed to investigate BDNF levels in the central and peripheral nervous systems of a rapid ejaculation model. Eighteen male rats were selected and classified as 'sluggish', 'normal' and 'rapid' ejaculators on the basis of ejaculation frequency during copulatory behavioural tests.

Objective: The current study was aimed at correlating semen pH with motility and count to understand the significance of semen buffering system.

Methods: The semen samples were collected from men who visited the clinic with infertility problems. Determination of semen pH, sperm motility and count were done according to the WHO laboratory manual, 2010 standards.

Mitochondrion

Division of Endocrinology, Central Drug Research Institute, Lucknow, India. Electronic address:

The incorporation of mitochondria in the eukaryotic cell is one of the most enigmatic events in the course of evolution. This important organelle was thought to be only the powerhouse of the cell, but was later learnt to perform many other indispensable functions in the cell. Two major contributions of mitochondria in spermatogenesis concern energy production and apoptosis.
