Effect of water extract of broccoli plant (Brassica oleracea)‎ on some hormones of female white rats exposed to oxidative stress with hydrogen peroxide

Abstract EN

The effect of the water extract of broccoli Brassica oleracea on some adult female rats hormones was studied to reduce the oxidativestress developed by hydrogen peroxide.The rats age from (3-4 months) and weights from (100-200 g),The experimeat period was from 2016/12 / 18 until 18/18/2017 .Twenty five rats was divided in toFive groups (Five rats in each group)as jellous:- The negative group (C-) was given water and food only group was the positive group (C +) was givenfoodandH2O2( 0.5%) in drinking water (group 3 to group 5) were givenfoodandH2O2( 0.5%) in drinking water as well as of the broccoliextract (600,500,400 mg / kg)daily and for 30 days, respectively, results showed that the crude extractcontainedclicosides, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, carbohydrates, and tannins, as well as resins.

When the alkaloids were detected when the Mayer and Marx detectors were found, broccoli contained alkaloids, while the extract did not contain the serotonin, sterols and triterphenoid.

The incidence of elevated progesterone concentration, prolactin, and follicle stimulating hormone (P≤0.05), female white rats subjected to oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide compared to the control group sound,(P ≤ 0.05), while the results of the current study and statistical data showed no significant differences (P>0.05) for estrogen comparedto the controlgroup.
