Effect of Aqueous and Alcoholic Extracts of Allium porrum L. on the Male Reproductive System of Rats (Rattus rattus )

Abstract

This experimentwas used 35 rats .The research was aimed to asses the effect of aqueous and alcoholic extracts of Allium porrum L. on the fertility of males rats. And the males rats were divided into three groups . Administrated by different concentrations (200,400,800) mg/kg from each extract orally for (50) days one dose every 48hours to study the parameters of fertility that compared with control group.Treatment with Allium porrum L. extracts led to an increase in the testicular weight and epididimal weight for all extract concentrations and to both kinds of extracts . and alcoholic extract at concentration of (800) mg/km was more significant than the other concentration. A significant increase in the total sperms count , and significant decrease in the percentage of dead and abnormal sperms .
