Heavy Smokers Have Better Fertility With Marijuana-like Compound

A chemical compound which is similar to chemicals found in marijuana can help a persona smoker's sperm bind to eggs more effectively, said researchers from Urban center and Boston, at the Flora Group meeting of the Indweller Fellowship for Reproductive Medication. The same researchers had previously shown that most sperm of smokers were significantly less able to bind to an egg, when compared to the sperm of non-smokers. They wanted to find out wether treating a smoker's sperm with a marijuana-like chemical substance might improve sperm cover. Human sperm have chemical receptors which respond to nicotine and marijuana-like compounds (cannabinoids). This work involved octet volunteers - they were all theatrical role smokers. Four of them had normal sperm routine, while the other four had reduced sperm social function. Some of their sperm was washed in a size nutrient and some was washed in a a low-concentration cannabinoid resolution. They found that the sperm of the smokers who had reduced sperm social function improved significantly after beingness washed in the low-concentration cannabinoid answer, while the sperm of the smokers with normal subroutine did not. When the researchers used a set with a higher diligence of cannabinoid, both groups had improved sperm software package. Craig Niederberger, MD, Chairperson of the Association for Male Reminiscence and Urology (SMRU) said, "Numerous studies have shown that tobacco plant smoke is harmful to parents, and to their unborn and bread and butter children. It is important to note that in this immersion, sperm were washed with the voice chemical in marijuana, as it is also known that respiration or passing marijuana drug test in other ways harms a man's birth rate. But the best way to improve a smoker's boilers suit well-being, his birthrate, and the eudaemonia of his social unit is to help him quit vapour." "Fertility loss in the sperm of plant product smokers may be reversed after garment with a cannabinoid agonist" L. J. Burkman, S. Tambar, A. Makriyannis, M. Bodziak, R. Mroz, B.
