Abstract

Present study has been undertaken to observe the efficacy of herbal product- Green tea leaf extract (GTLE). The objective of this study is also to determine the simple possible way out of male castration parallel to surgical method. This herbal agent used in this experiment, has shown great influence on male reproductive system functionally as well as morphologically. The extract was made using the method of Wei. H. et al. During a 26-day period, the extract was given to two different experimental animal groups at two different doses. Following treatment, it was discovered that the weight of the testis was significantly reduced, as opposed to the normal weight gain of all the animals. When compared to the control animal group, the treated groups had lower sperm count and motility. In comparison to the control group, enzymes such as SGPT and SGOT were normal, as were other blood parameters such as glucose and protein. Testosterone levels were reduced in the treated groups. In the treated groups, FSH and LH levels were also altered. Histological examination revealed that spermatogenesis was inhibited, as evidenced by the disintegration of testicular seminiferous tubules. According to the findings of this study, GTLE has a potent castrative effect on the male reproductive system in a dose-dependent manner.
