Abstract:Objectives. To investigate the effects of ginseng soluble dietary fiber (GSDF) on the spermatogenic potential in high‐fat diet (HFD)‐induced obese mice. Method. C57BL/6 mice were fed an HFD for 60 days, and GSDF was administered by gastric gavage. The mice were divided into control, HFD, GSDF (high, medium, and low), and positive (metformin and MH) groups. During this period, changes in body weight were recorded. Various organ indices were measured 24 h after the last dose. Sperm quality in the vas deferens an… Show more
