Red dragon (Hylocereus polyrhizus) fruit peel extract increased the motility and viability of spermatozoa of hypercholesterolemic rats (Rattus norvegicus)

Abstract: This study aims to determine the effect of red dragon (Hylocereus polyrhizus) fruit peel extract (RDFPE) on spermatozoa motility and viability of hypercholesterolemic rats (Rattus norvegicus) as a model. Twenty male rats were randomly divided into negative control (NC), positive control (PC), treatment 1 (T1), treatment 2 (T2), and treatment 3 (T3) groups. All rats were given 2 mL of high cholesterol feed orally every day for 28 days. On day-15, all rats were measured for their blood cholesterol levels, follow… Show more

“…Semen in sample microtube was gently stirred with a small bored pasteur pipette; a drop of the mixture and a drop of physiological saline solution were mixed homogeneously on an object glass, and covered with a cover glass. The percentage of spermatozoa with progressive movement was examined under a light microscope (Nikon Eclipse E100 LED) at 400x magnification in five fields of view at room temperature (Sari et al, 2023).…”
