Study finds how semen affects the female brain

What is composition of seman?
Semen is a substance produced by the male reproductive organs. It is composed of spermatozoa in a semi-viscous fluid. Structures within the male reproductive tract that are involved in the production of semen include:
  • Testes and epididymis
  • Prostate
  • Seminal vesicles
  • Bulbourethral gland
Sperm apparently contains a chemical composition very useful to the body. Even once there is a myth among women that by swallowing sperm may make skin smooth and make youth, but experts in this field have never confirmed but never blame the myth scientifically. Is swallowing sperm contagious? They just say: never mind what swallowed provided the sperm is healthy sperm and is not contagious disease. According to ancient Chinese understanding, sperm is believed to be a drug or a source that can make a long life, improve the intelligence of the brain, and can make the skin smooth for a woman who swallowed it.


If viewed from medical benefits of sperm, the sperm does contain substances or proteins that are useful for the body, maybe something like people who like swallowing / eating chicken eggs or duck eggs as a supplement to improve the vitality of the body, but need to underline here, to swallow sperm is healthy sperm.

Okay, below are the substances contained in the sperm:
The chemical composition of sperm is as follows:

Copper … … … … … … … ….. ….. .. … …  006 to .024
The chemical composition of sperm that benefit the body are as follows:
1. Calcium
This composition is very useful for bones and teeth and even to maintain muscle and nerve function.
2. Citric acid
Useful to prevent blood clotting in the body
3. Creatine
Useful to increase energy and formation of muscle and also acts as a fat burner
4. Ergothioneine
Function as protection of skin from DNA damage
5. Fructose
Can serve as a digestive sugar in the body which is very useful for the prevention of diabetes. Most Fructose is also dangerous because it can cause the disease gout.
6. Glutathione
This chemical composition is very useful as a cancer preventive drugs, prevent blood clotting during surgery and increase the efficacy of chemotherapy drugs.
7. Inositol
Function to prevent hair loss in hair
8. Lactic Acid
Serves as a material for burns and surgical wounds
9. Lipid
Functions as a fat burner
10.Pyruvic Acid
Functioning as fertilising
11.Sorbitol
Used by pharmacists as a material to overcome constipation
12.Urea
Serves to remove excess nitrogen in the body
13.Uric Acid
Useful for the prevention of diabetes but most of uric acid would be caused disease gout, etc.
14. Sulfur
Useful for smoothing the skin.
15. Vitamin B12
As an addition to stamin
16.Zinc
Useful as an acne drug
All of the above substances is an important substances which is very beneficial for the body, and is used for a variety of healing medicines.
New Research- Study finds how semen affects the female brain

Semen Can Literally Control the Female Brain
This research Reveal more insight into how female Brain and Sex Are Connected
A team of international researchers, led by University of Saskatchewan’s Gregg Adams, has unlocked the mystery behind a protein in semen and its effect on the female brain, prompting ovulation. “The idea that a substance in mammalian semen has a direct effect on the female brain is a new one,” said Adams, a professor of veterinary biomedical sciences at the U of S. This latest finding broadens our understanding of the mechanisms that regulate ovulation and raises some intriguing questions about fertility, he added.

A study published in the August 20 edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) reveals that an international team of scientists at Saskatchewan University discovered a protein in semen, which influences the female brain to prompt ovulation and that this molecule also regulates the growth, maintenance, and survival of nerve cells. The accessory sex glands in male mammals contribute seminal fluid to semen, yet so far there is little knowledge about the fluid's role and that of the glands that produce it.
Leading researcher Greg Adams, a professor of veterinary biomedical sciences at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine at Saskatchewan University says: "From the results of our research, we now know that these glands produce large amounts of a protein that has a direct effect on the female.
The study raises some interesting questions regarding fertility in mammals and humans. The researchers have found that the protein, which they call ovulation-inducing factor (OIF), is present in all species of mammals that they have investigated so far. They compared OIF to thousands of other proteins, such as the nerve growth factor (NGF) that primarily occurs in the body's nerve cells and Adams says: "To our surprise, it turns out they are the same molecule. Even more surprising is that the effects of NGF in the female were not recognized earlier, since it's so abundant in seminal plasma."
Even though OIF/NGF may work differently in each individual animal, the researchers found that it is present in all mammals they have studied, ranging from llamas, cattle and koalas to pigs, rabbits, mice and humans, which suggests that it plays a significant part in all mammal's reproduction. This raises questions about its role in various species, how it works and its clinical significance to human infertility amongst other questions.OIF/NGF in the semen functions as a hormonal signal that works through the hypothalamus of the female brain and the pituitary gland, which in turn triggers the release of other hormones that signal the ovaries to release one or several eggs depending on the species. The team focused on llamas and cattle in their study and found that llamas are "induced ovulators," which means they only ovulate when inseminated in contrast to cows as well as humans that are "spontaneous ovulators," which means the release of an egg is stimulated by a regular buildup of hormones. The team compared OIF and NGF with various techniques and discovered that they are the same size and cause the same effects across species. The structure of the molecule was confirmed at the Canadian Light Source synchrotron at Saskatchewan University.

Adams concludes, “The idea that a substance in mammalian semen has a direct effect on the female brain is a new one. This latest finding broadens our understanding of the mechanisms that regulate ovulation and raises some intriguing questions about fertility."
