| Abstract | ||
| Two cottonseed extracts including alcoholic and aqueous at doses 20 and 40 mg/Kg/day were orally administered to male mice for 6 weeks to study their effects on some of sperm parameters. Results showed that 20 and 40 mg/kg alcoholic and aqueous extract caused highly significant (P 0.01) decrease in the sperm concentration, motility (%) and progressive sperm motility (%). While, Results of the abnormal sperm morphology (%) for two treated groups 20 and 40 mg/kg/day of alcoholic and aqueous extracts revealed a significant (P 0.05) increase after 6 weeks when compared to the control group. Results revealed that the percentages of sperm agglutination were highly significant (P 0.01) increased in mice treated with 20 and 40 mg/kg/day of alcoholic and aqueous when compared to the control. The fertility (%) and percentage of males of new born babies showed a significant (P 0.05) reduction in the treated mice as compared to female in the same groups and to the control group. Meanwhile, a significant (P 0.05) increase in the recovery time was showed with the increasing of doses of the two extracts when compared with the control group. | ||
