| Abstract | ||
| The current study was designed to determine the effects of camel’s milk on the level of sex hormones, and reproductive ability parameters in laboratory male rats. Male adult (36) were used and divided randomly into six equal groups, each group consists of 6 rats. The first group were injected with (0.2ml) normal (0.9 % NaCl) physiological saline solution intrapertoneally this group considered as the control group. The second group were administrated orally with 1ml camel’s milk. The third and fifth groups were injected by 0.2ml Cadmium chloride (1, 0.5mg/kg body weight) intrapertoneally. The fourth and sixth groups injected by 0.2ml with Cadmium chloride(1,0.5mg/kg body weight) intrapertoneally then administrated orally with 1ml of camel’s milk. The experiment was continued for 30 days, at the end of the experimental period, the laboratory animals from each group were sacrificed, The blood samples were collected to measure the concentration of male sex hormones. The number of sperms and abnormal spermatozoa were also calculated. The results showed no significant difference in the levels of male sex hormones of the first and second groups, while the groups (first, second ,fourth and sixth) showed a significant difference (P>0.05) with third and fifth group which have no significant difference between them. Also the results showed a significant decrease (P>0.05) in the number of sperms and a significant increase(P>0.05) in the number of abnormal spermatozoa compared with the control group and other groups. while the groups (fourth and sixth ) showed a significant increase(P>0.05) ) in the number of sperms and a significant decrease (P>0.05) in the number of abnormal spermatozoa compared with third and fifth groups. | ||
