Detection of 'stimulant' increases fertility

British researchers found that a substance added to water could increase fertility in frogs, fish and other organisms. They believe that this substance can also work with people.

Stimulants increase your ability to conceive

The team describes the newly discovered substance as "an aphrodisiac, effective by removing the brake for reproduction" . They believe it is possible to create a drug version for humans, in the form of drinks for men and women.

In tests, supplements have been successful in nematodes, mollusks, fish and frogs.

According to research reports, Dr. Keith Davies from the University of Hertfordshire (England) and his colleague - Dr. John Hart, executive director of Endocrine Pharmaceuticals Ltd., observed the squirrel (Poecilia reticulata) at London Zoo. . They added a peptide (short protein) to the fish tank and found that the fish produced four times the number of children after 6 months, compared to those of the same species that were not exposed to the peptide in the environment. their water.

Similar Paignton zoo tests led to the browning of the frog frog mantella (Mantella ebenaui) - an endangered amphibian species - for the first time breeding in captivity. The team explained that the aforementioned simple protein was dissolved in water and sprayed on frogs' bodies in captivity, which was built to simulate their natural habitats in the rainforest, let it penetrate the skin of these creatures.

Dr. Davies, the head of the study and also an expert on nematode - the specimen chosen for human studies, added: "The supplement has boosted reproductive activity and increased intervals. 80% of the offspring are born in the famous roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans, and our study revealed that the biochemical mechanism of this substance is capable of taking effect throughout the animal kingdom. looking for a trading partner to produce useful products for animal breeders and doctors who are treating infertile couples ".

Reproduction in humans is controlled by a region of the brain stem called the hypothalamus. Scientists believe that "reproductive brake " may also exist there.

The reproductive brake is removed for the first time during puberty, triggering sexual maturity. Researchers surmise that, sometimes in humans, this brake may not be turned off properly or that it will continue to function in malfunctions or delay fertility.
