Effect of palm pollen grains extracts (Phoenix dactylifera L)‎ on spermatogenic activity of male rabbits

Abstract EN

The effect of palm pollen grain extracts (Phoenix dactylifera L) on the spermatogenic activity has been studied by observation of the sperm characteristics, weights of testes and the histological development which begins at the testes wall tubules as a primary and secondary spermatocytes .Fifteen male rabbits were divided into three equal groups, the first control group received (3ml) of normal saline, the second treated with 5 ml \ kg Body weight of palm pollen extract, While the third group treated with 25ml \ Body weight of the extract.

Palm pollen grain extracts increase the sperm cells count and decreased the percentage of motile sperm in male rabbits, On the other hand the palm pollen grain extracts has showed a significant increase in spermatogenesis at seminal tubules by increasing the primary and secondary spermatocytes in comparing with control animals.
