Effect of Ginkgo biloba extract on sperm quality, serum testosterone concentration and histometric analysis of testes from adult Wistar rats

Abstract: Ginkgo biloba extract is a widely consumed phytotherapic used mainly in the treatment of dementia and Alzheimer's disease, and it has also been employed to treat erectile dysfunction and as an aphrodisiac. This work was aimed at evaluating its effect on sperm quality, serum testosterone concentration and on the histometric analysis of the testes from adult male Wistar rats. Three-month-old Wistar rats were treated with distilled water (control group) and the aqueous extract of Ginkgo biloba at the dose levels … Show more

“…The samples were kept at 20°C until analysis. 17 Animals were euthanized using ketamine (90 mg/kg) and xylazine (5 mg/kg) 0.1 mL/100 gm in a 1:1 ratio. Testes and accessory glands (prostate and seminal vesicles) were estimated in proportion to the final body weight/100 g as relative body weight.…”

“…Resultados similares aos deste estudo também foram observados por com genisteína (5 mg/kg por 130 dias), Delclos et alGrgurevic et al (2016), observaram que camundongos machos tratados com leite de vaca com estrogênio natural e leite de vaca com 17β-estradiol, também não tiveram alterações no peso PT. Também não foram observadas alterações no IGS e PT porGomes et al (2011) com Heteropterys aphrodisiaca,Monteiro et al (2012) com Rudgea viburnoides eOshio et al (2015) com Ginkgo biloba em ratos Wistar. A redução do peso corporal nos animais tratados com as bebidas lácteas de soja pode indicar o início de outras alterações histológicas que ainda não se tornaram visíveis, uma vez que todos os animais estavam expostos as mesmas condições.…”
