Abstracts

Objective: Korean herbal formulation, Ojayeonjonghwan is used to treat lateonset hypogonadism (LOH) symptoms including erectile dysfunction (ED). Previous study demonstrated that the modified Ojayeonjonghwan (KH-204) can be developed as a therapeutic alternative medicine to improve ED. We examined the pharmacological effects of KH-204 in vitro and in a LHRH agonist-induced LOH rat model. Design and Method: TM3 Leydig cell viability was measured based on oxidative stress according to the treatment. We investigated either distilled water (shamoperated) or leuprorelin 0.5mg/kg, which was subcutaneously administered once to the back of rats. Male rats were divided into four groups (n = 8 in each): a normalcontrol group, an androgen-deprived control group and two androgen-deprived groups treated p.o. with either 200 or 400 mg/kg, KH-204 for 4 weeks. The testes and epididymides from rats in all groups were removed, weighed and subjected to histological examination after treatment. Results: KH-204 protected TM3 cells from oxidative stress via activation of ERK and Akt pathways. The level of testosterone and activation of spermatogenesis in androgen-deprived or aging male rats were significantly enhanced, and germ cell apoptosis was reduced after treatment. Conclusions: These results suggested that KH-204 may alleviate the oxidative 0stress via ERK and Akt pathways, and it may contribute to the improvement of serum testosterone levels
