Abstract
The use of ginger ( Zingiberofficinale ), and specifically its medicinally active rhizome, has gained popularity among modern physicians in recent years.The effect of an aqueous extract of ginger was investigated on morphological of seminiferous tubules of mice and sperm parameters of semen for 90 male mice that were divided into three groups of 30 mice for each group. The experimental groups split into two groups each included 30 mice. (G.1) received 50mg/k/body weight and (G.2) received 100 mg/k/ body weight of ginger were dissolved in drinking water for 21 respectively days.This study aimed to evaluate the effect of gingeronSemen characteristics, sex hormones and the histology of the testes to show the spermatogenesis affected by ginger. In the present study we showed that, the average of body weight decreased in all experimental ginger-treated groups (G1) and (G2)The testes weight decreased in both experimental groups, compared with the control group(micewithout treated only distilled water); however, this decrease was statistically significant in body weight (p 0.05) in Follicle - stimulating hormone ( FSH ), Luteinizing hormone ( LH) and testosterone hormone,total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and malondialdehyde (MDA) in all animal experiment when compared with control. Furthermorethe histological study of testes showed a significant increase in the lumina spermatozoa at the level of Spermatogonia and primary spermatocytes.
