Abstract:
In this review article the author discusses the possibility of making a male contraceptive with the inclusion of copper. The contributions made by different groups of workers in India towards this, are critically analysed. Aspermatogenic status of copper is recognised. The toxicity of copper on tissue is a great concern for continuation of this programme. Recently a hypothesis for slow delivery system of copper for functioning as aspermatogenic and spermatostatic was mooted. The veracity of the proposal is yet to be seen.
