Question: The first hypothesis is investigating the effect of DMAU on male fertility. DMAU is an androgen that can be used as a hormonal contraceptive in men. It has been shown to reduce male fertility by decreasing semen output and the motility of the remaining semen. It does this by lowering testosterone, LH, and FSH levels, likely through negative feedback on the hypophyseal-pituitary-gonad axis, similar to testosterone.
The second hypothesis is examining the impact of a single concentration of GnRH, progesterone, and testosterone on female fertility. These hormones play crucial roles in the female reproductive system. GnRH stimulates the release of FSH and LH from the anterior pituitary gland, which in turn influence the function of the ovaries and the production of sex steroids, including progesterone and estrogen. These hormones are essential for egg maturation, ovulation, and the maintenance of pregnancy. Therefore, changes in the concentration of these hormones could potentially affect female fertility.
Once scientists have identified how the new knowledge fits into the old knowledge, they discuss the implications of the new information for moving forward. In this class, the purpose of study is to learn some foundational science ideas represented by the course student learning outcomes. Review the course student learning outcome aligned to this lab in the assignment directions in Blackboard. How is the information from this lab related to the course student learning outcome?
