THEEFFECT OF LepidiumsativumSEEDS EXTRACTION IN CONCENTRATIONSOF SOME ADULT MALE RABBITS HORMONES

Abstract

The study has been performed at College of Science/Babylon university,which contained 25 male rabbits.The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of extraction of Lepidiumsativumseeds in the concentrations of some white male rabbits hormones. The In Vivo study include using of the medium effect dose (MED50) for extraction of plant seeds. The mean of MED50 were 33.6, 36.1, and 53.3 mg/kg ofbody weight for tocopherol, phenol, and terpen respectively.The MED50concentrations of tocopherol and phenol caused a significant increase (P<0.05) in concentration of testosterone, prolactin, andluteinizing hormones, and no significant increase(P>0.05) in concentration of follicle stimulating hormone, whilea significant decrease (P<0.05)was found in concentration of follicle stimulating hormone caused by terpen MED50.
