| Abstract | ||
| This study was designed to investigate the effects of decorticated and defatted castor seeds (Ricinus Communis) on the sperms functions and characters of male mice at two consecutive spermatogenic cycles. Eighteen albino Swiss male mice with Ten weeks old were used as animal model, they divided in to three groups (Six male mice of each), 1st group served as control group and received distilled water only, and the 2nd group has been set as treatment group which was treated orally with 1.76 mg/kg. BW from watery suspension of decorticated and defatted castor seeds extract for 38 days (single spermatogenic cycle). The 3rd group has been treated with the same protocol of the 2nd group but was allowed a recovery period (free from the treatment) of another 38 days (double spermatogenic cycles). The measured parameters were: total sperm count, Sperms viability, abnormal sperm percentage, and the turbidimeteric parameters of sperm motility. | ||
