Abstract
AbstractEffects of Parsley (Petroselinum Crispum) Hydroalcoholic Extract on Spermatogenesis and Pituitary- Gonadal Axis in Streptozotocin- Induced Diabetic Male RatBackground: Diabetes mellitus (DM), as a metabolic disease, has a high rate of mortality all over the world. In recent years, there is accumulating evidence that showing this complex multifactorial disease has various effects on reproductive system. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of hydroalcoholic extract of parsley(Petroselinum crispum) leaves on spermatogenesis and pituitary gonadal axis in male streptozotocin (STZ) - induced diabetic ratMethods: In the present study, 60 male rats were divided into 5 groups of 12 animals in each: control, DM control and 3 experimental groups (treated with doses 1g/kg, 2g/kg and 4 g/kg of hydroalcoholic extract of parsley leaves gavage for 28 days). DM was induced intraperitoneal injection of a single dose of STZ (65mg/kg). At the end of the treatment, mice were bled from the heart and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), Luteinizing hormone (LH) and testosterones were measured. The testes of mice were isolated and weighted. Results: Comparison of LH, FSH and testosterone in rats treated with doses 1mg/kg of hydro-alcoholic extraction of plant revealed a significant increase as compared the diabetic control group (p <0/05). In addition, the results of histological elucidated that the experimental group (1mg/kg) a significant increase in sperm cells, motility, testis weight, total sperm count relative to diabetic control (P <0.001). Conclusion: It seems that parsley (Petroselinum Crispum) hydroalcoholic extract can be effective in decreasing the reproductive disorders in of DM patient.
