CHICAGO (Reuters) - U.S. researchers found a compound may lead finally to the tablets of contraception for men.
The researchers said that in laboratory experiments mice became sterile after being injected boat exactly where sperm produced fewer and active. It does not affect the drug - who tested in the original part of a larger project for Cancer Research - the hormone system or sexual arousal.
Said James Bradner Institute of Dana - Farber Cancer Center in Boston, where conducted the study, published in the journal (cell Cell) "there is no effect on the libido of a mouse. Lasted mice in normal sexual behavior and has maintained the pace of intercourse."
Bradner said that once stopped doctors from giving the drug to mice, they become capable of giving birth to healthy mice without side effects phenomenon.
The researchers tested the compound was developed in the laboratory of Bradner dubbed (J.. Kew .1) was prepared in the original gene to stop (me. R.. 0.4 DVD) that causes cancer.
The researchers discovered that the compound appeared to target a protein in the testes known as (my. R. DVD. T) sends a signal to the maturation of sperm.
Bradner said that the compound does not cause damage to the cells seem to produce sperm, but the impact of the property makes it lose sight of its production.
