7. Reproductive BiologyAt AKU, the group has a strong and long standing interest in reproductive biology research. It represents a broad level of competence in this front edge area of research in reproductive health. The work on 'Testosterone and Cytokine interaction during fertility regulation' for example, is expected to yield results important for the treatment of endocrine and inflammatory disorders. Similarly the work on 'Effects of Anxiety and Tolerance Development induced by Anxiolytics on Reproduction Functions in the Rat ' will be of value for the purpose of creating awareness among the health professionals and general public regarding potential hazards associated with anxiolytics uncontrolled use.
