Quantitative assessment of Nigella sativa and conjugated silver nanoparticles against hexavalent chromium toxic effects on sperm function

BackgroundInfertility has been observed as one of the major issues in humans, one known risk factor is heavy metals. MethodsThe main focus of the present research was to assess the toxic effect of hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)) on sperm and its mitigation by Nigella sativa seed extract (NS) and its conjugated silver nanoparticles (NS + NP). In the present study, we administered 1.5 mg/kg body of Cr (VI) orally in mice for 60 days routinely, to induce toxicity in testes and effect on sperm production and motility in male mice. NS and NS + NP (50 mg/kg body weight) were administered to evaluate protective action against Cr (VI). The sperm were analyzed by computer-assisted semen analysis (CASA) and chromium concentration in testicular tissue was measured via the atomic absorption spectrophotometer. ResultsThe CASA analysis showed that Cr (VI) was directly linked with a decline in sperm concentration, motility, distance, velocity, straightness, and head beat frequency attributes. However, the administration of Nigella sativa seed extract and its green synthesized silver nanoparticles improved sperm concentration, motility, distance, velocity, straightness, and head beat frequency. The chromium content in the testes of Cr-exposed animals significantly increased, which negatively affected sperm parameters. However, Nigella sativa and Nigella sativa conjugated silver nanoparticles appeared to help in the removal of Cr content from testes hence improving the sperm parameters in exposed mice. ConclusionThe decrease in Cr concentration improved sperm quality and quantity, hence, improve male fertility.

Stress increases sperm respiration and motility in mice and men

Semen quality and fertility has declined over the last 50 years, corresponding to ever-increasing environmental stressors. However, the cellular mechanisms involved and their impact on sperm functions remain unknown. In a repeated sampling human cohort study, we identify a significant effect of prior perceived stress to increase sperm motility 2-3 months following stress, timing that expands upon our previous studies revealing significant stress-associated changes in sperm RNA important for fertility. We mechanistically examine this post-stress timing in mice using an in vitro stress model in the epididymal epithelial cells responsible for sperm maturation and find 7282 differentially H3K27me3 bound DNA regions involving genes critical for mitochondrial and metabolic pathways. Further, prior stress exposure significantly changes the composition and size of epithelial cell-secreted extracellular vesicles that when incubated with mouse sperm, increase mitochondrial respiration and sperm motility, adding to our prior work showing impacts on embryo development. Together, these studies identify a time-dependent, translational signaling pathway that communicates stress experience to sperm, ultimately affecting reproductive functions.

ZMYND12 serves as an IDAd subunit that is essential for sperm motility in mice

Inner dynein arms (IDAs) are formed from a protein complex that is essential for appropriate flagellar bending and beating. IDA defects have previously been linked to the incidence of asthenozoospermia (AZS) and male infertility. The testes-enriched ZMYND12 protein is homologous with an IDA component identified in Chlamydomonas. ZMYND12 deficiency has previously been tied to infertility in males, yet the underlying mechanism remains uncertain. Here, a CRISPR/Cas9 approach was employed to generate Zmynd12 knockout (Zmynd12−/−) mice. These Zmynd12−/− mice exhibited significant male subfertility, reduced sperm motile velocity, and impaired capacitation. Through a combination of co-immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry, ZMYND12 was found to interact with TTC29 and PRKACA. Decreases in the levels of PRKACA were evident in the sperm of these Zmynd12−/− mice, suggesting that this change may account for the observed drop in male fertility. Moreover, in a cohort of patients with AZS, one patient carrying a ZMYND12 variant was identified, expanding the known AZS-related variant spectrum. Together, these findings demonstrate that ZMYND12 is essential for flagellar beating, capacitation, and male fertility.

Chronic oral administration of L-carnitine induces testicular injury: in vivo evidence.

While L-carnitine is commonly used to treat oligoasthenozoospermia, concerns have been raised regarding its potential harm to spermatogenesis. This study aims to investigate the potential testicular toxicity of long-term oral administration of L-carnitine. In this study, we refer to the clinical adult dosage and mode of L-carnitine administration, and after converting to mouse doses, mice were daily intragastrical administered L-carnitine to investigate whether it was harmful to the testis. The investigation involved assessing its potential testicular toxicity through histopathological staining, sperm motility analysis, and quantitative real-time PCR. Our results showed that L-carnitine increased sperm motility after 14days of continuous administration, but increased luminal exfoliated spermatogenic cells occurred in the testis, and TUNEL results showed increased apoptotic cells. Compared with the control group, the mRNA expression of the spermatogenic cell marker at each stage was decreased in mice treated for 14 consecutive days of L-carnitine. After 50days of continuous administration followed by 14days of drug withdrawal, the total sperm motility of mice was almost 0, and a large number of abnormal eosinophilic spermatogenic cells appeared in the testis. These indicate that oral L-carnitine for more than 14 days impairs spermatogenesis in mice, and sudden discontinuation of administration results in substantial death of established spermatogenic cell populations. Our findings suggest that chronic oral administration of L-carnitine impairs spermatogenic function in the testis. The oral administration of L-carnitine to enhance sperm motility should not exceed the 2/5 point of the spermatogenic cycle.

Loss of DIS3L in the initial segment is dispensable for sperm maturation in the epididymis and male fertility

DIS3L, a catalytic exoribonuclease associated with the cytoplasmic exosome complex, degrades cytoplasmic RNAs and is implicated in cancers and certain other diseases in humans. Epididymis plays a pivotal role in the transport, maturation, and storage of sperm required for male fertility. However, it remains unclear whether DIS3L-mediated cytoplasmic RNA degradation plays a role in epididymis biology and functioning. Herein, we fabricated a Dis3l conditional knockout (Dis3l cKO) mouse line in which DIS3L was ablated from the principal cells of the initial segment (IS). Morphological analyses showed that spermatogenesis and IS differentiation occurred normally in Dis3l cKO mice. Additionally, the absence of DIS3L had no dramatic influence on the transcriptome of IS. Moreover, the sperm count, morphology, motility, and acrosome reaction frequency in Dis3l cKO mice were comparable to that of the control, indicating that the Dis3l cKO males had normal fertility. Collectively, our genetic model demonstrates that DIS3L inactivation in the IS is nonessential for sperm maturation and male fertility.

The effects of saluang belum (Luvunga sarmentosa) root infusion on sperm motility, viability, and testicle histology in mice (Mus musculus)

Background: Men's infertility is frequently caused by a decrease in sperm quality. Herbal medicine, which is relatively cheap and easy to obtain, can be used to treat this condition. People in Central Borneo frequently consume boiled Saluang Belum root (Luvunga sarmentosa). L. sarmentosa root has the potential to improve sperm quality. Objective: To investigate the effects of Saluang Belum root infusion on sperm cell survival and testicle histology in mice (Mus musculus). Method: L. sarmentosa root was extracted using an infusion method, analysed and administered to mice at doses of 200 mg/kgBW, 400 mg/kgBW, and 600 mg/kgBW. Aquadest was used as a negative control for 15 days. On the 16th day, sperm motility and viability were assessed. The right testicles were removed and examined under a microscope at 100x and 400x magnification for five fields of view to examine mice testicle histology. Result: Infusion of L. sarmentosa contained triterpenoids, flavonoids, steroids, alkaloids, saponins, and phenols. Statistical tests of infused L. sarmentosa root on the motility, viability sperm and spermatogenic potentials of mice indicated that the doses of 200mg/kgBW, 400mg/kgBW, and 600mg/kgBW are significantly increased than control. Conclusion: L. sarmentosa root infusion increased sperm motility and viability, and the spermatogenic cells, as well as Leydig cells in mice.

Nerve growth factor alleviates arsenic-induced testicular injury by enhancing the function of Sertoli cells

Sertoli cells (SCs) maintain testicular homeostasis and promote spermatogenesis by forming the blood-testis barrier (BTB) and secreting growth factors. The pro-proliferative and anti-apoptotic effects of nerve growth factor (NGF) on SCs have been proved previously. It is still unclear whether the damage effect of arsenic on testis is related to the inhibition of NGF expression, and whether NGF can mitigate arsenic-induced testicular damage by decreasing the damage of SCs induced by arsenic. Here, the lower expression of NGF in testes of arsenic exposed mice (freely drinking water containing 15 mg/l of NaAsO2) was observed through detection of Western blot and Real-time PCR. Subsequently, hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining, Evans blue staining and transmission electron microscopy were used to evaluate the pathology, BTB permeability and tight junction integrity in testes of control mice, arsenic exposed mice (freely drinking water containing 15 mg/l of NaAsO2) and arsenic + NGF treated mice (freely drinking water containing 15 mg/l of NaAsO2 + intraperitoneal injection with 30 μg/kg of NGF), respectively. Evidently, spermatogenic tubule epithelial cells in testis of arsenic exposed mice were disordered and the number of cell layers was reduced, accompanied by increased permeability and damaged integrity of the tight junction in BTB, but these changes were less obvious in testes of mice treated with arsenic + NGF. In addition, the sperm count, motility and malformation rate of mice treated with arsenic + NGF were also improved. On the basis of the above experiments, the viability and apoptosis of primary cultured SCs treated with arsenic (10 μM NaAsO2) or arsenic + NGF (10 μM NaAsO2 + 100 ng/mL NGF) were detected by Cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) and transferase-mediated DUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining, respectively. It is found that NGF ameliorated the decline of growth activity and the increase of apoptosis in arsenic-induced SCs. This remarkable biological effect that NGF inhibited the increase of Bax expression and the decrease of Bcl-2 expression in arsenic-induced SCs was also determined by western blot and Real-time PCR. Moreover, the decrease in transmembrane resistance (TEER) and the expression of tight junction proteins ZO-1 and occludin was mitigated in SCs induced by arsenic due to NGF treatment. In conclusion, the above results confirmed that NGF could ameliorate the injury effects of arsenic on testis, which might be related to the function of NGF to inhibit arsenic-induced SCs injury.

Moderate concentration of Lactobacillus metabolites does not adversely affect mouse sperm

Many couples in contemporary societies suffer from infertility of unexplained origins (idiopathic). A promising treatment strategy within this context involves the administration to women of preparations containing lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus) and/or their metabolites. Recent investigations underscore the role of lactobacilli in sustaining female fertility and enhancing the effectiveness of assisted reproductive techniques. There have also been reports describing the effect of lactobacilli on sperm functions, but our knowledge in this domain remains uncertain. In this study, the effect of supernatant from Lactobacillus rhamnosus culture on mouse sperm viability and motility was tested. The protective properties of lactobacilli metabolites against hydrogen peroxide-induced DNA damage were also verified. It was shown that the metabolites have no effect on viability, motility, and genome integrity of spermatozoa, but in excessive concentrations they become toxic. The obtained results imply that probiotic and/or postbiotic preparations taken by women should not adversely affect the sperm of their partners, provided the dose is correctly selected.

CCDC28A deficiency causes sperm head defects, reduced sperm motility and male infertility in mice

Mature spermatozoa with normal morphology and motility are essential for male reproduction. The epididymis has an important role in the proper maturation and function of spermatozoa for fertilization. However, factors related to the processes involved in spermatozoa modifications are still unclear. Here we demonstrated that CCDC28A, a member of the CCDC family proteins, is highly expressed in testes and the CCDC28A deletion leads to male infertility. We found CCDC28A deletion had a mild effect on spermatogenesis. And epididymal sperm collected from Ccdc28a−/− mice showed bent sperm heads, acrosomal defects, reduced motility and decreased in vitro fertilization competence whereas their axoneme, outer dense fibers, and fibrous sheath were all normal. Furthermore, we found that CCDC28A interacted with sperm acrosome membrane-associated protein 1 (SPACA1) and glycogen synthase kinase 3a (GSK3A), and deficiencies in both proteins in mice led to bent heads and abnormal acrosomes, respectively. Altogether, our results reveal the essential role of CCDC28A in regulating sperm morphology and motility and suggesting a potential marker for male infertility.

Metabolic profiling identifies Qrich2 as a novel glutamine sensor that regulates microtubule glutamylation and mitochondrial function in mouse sperm

In our prior investigation, we discerned loss-of-function variants within the gene encoding glutamine-rich protein 2 (QRICH2) in two consanguineous families, leading to various morphological abnormalities in sperm flagella and male infertility. The Qrich2 knockout (KO) in mice also exhibits multiple morphological abnormalities of the flagella (MMAF) phenotype with a significantly decreased sperm motility. However, how ORICH2 regulates the formation of sperm flagella remains unclear. Abnormal glutamylation levels of tubulin cause dysplastic microtubules and flagella, eventually resulting in the decline of sperm motility and male infertility. In the current study, by further analyzing the Qrich2 KO mouse sperm, we found a reduced glutamylation level and instability of tubulin in Qrich2 KO mouse sperm flagella. In addition, we found that the amino acid metabolism was dysregulated in both testes and sperm, leading to the accumulated glutamine (Gln) and reduced glutamate (Glu) concentrations, and disorderly expressed genes responsible for Gln/Glu metabolism. Interestingly, mice fed with diets devoid of Gln/Glu phenocopied the Qrich2 KO mice. Furthermore, we identified several mitochondrial marker proteins that could not be correctly localized in sperm flagella, which might be responsible for the reduced mitochondrial function contributing to the reduced sperm motility in Qrich2 KO mice. Our study reveals a crucial role of a normal Gln/Glu metabolism in maintaining the structural stability of the microtubules in sperm flagella by regulating the glutamylation levels of the tubulin and identifies Qrich2 as a possible novel Gln sensor that regulates microtubule glutamylation and mitochondrial function in mouse sperm.

Decreased AdipoR1 signaling and its implications for obesity-induced male infertility

Obesity is among the risk factors for male infertility. Although several mechanisms underlying obesity-induced male subfertility have been reported, the entire mechanism of obesity-induced male infertility still remains unclear. Here, we show that sperm count, sperm motility and sperm fertilizing ability were decreased in male mice fed a high-fat diet and that the expression of the AdipoR1 gene and protein was decreased, and the expression of pro-apoptotic genes and protein increased, in the testis from mice fed a high-fat diet. Moreover, we demonstrate that testes weight, sperm count, sperm motility and sperm fertilizing ability were significantly decreased in AdipoR1 knockout mice compared to those in wild-type mice; furthermore, the phosphorylation of AMPK was decreased, and the expression of pro-apoptotic genes and proteins, caspase-6 activity and pathologically apoptotic seminiferous tubules were increased, in the testis from AdipoR1 knockout mice. Furthermore, study findings show that orally administrated AdipoRon decreased caspase-6 activity and apoptotic seminiferous tubules in the testis, thus ameliorating sperm motility in male mice fed a high-fat diet. This was the first study to demonstrate that decreased AdipoR1/AMPK signaling led to increased caspase-6 activity/increased apoptosis in the testis thus likely accounting for male infertility.

Repairing Effect of Mesenchymal Stem Cells on Lead Acetate-Induced Testicular Injury in Mice.

Lead acetate can cause testicular damage in males. In this study, we assessed the repairing effects of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on testicular injury caused by lead acetate in mice. MSCs were injected into mice with testicular injury by intraperitoneal injection, and the organ coefficient of reproductive organs, sperm motility, hormone level and antioxidant index of mice were tested. Compared with the normal group, the coefficient of reproductive organs and sperm motility were reduced in the model group, and histopathology showed obvious testicular injury, proving successful modeling. Compared with the model group, the reproductive organ coefficient and sperm motility were improved in the experimental group, and histopathology showed that the testicular injury could be significantly improved. Sex hormone secretion tends to be normal, and the antioxidant index increased. Sequencing results showed that there were 485 upregulated genes and 172 downregulated genes between the model group and the control group, and 210 upregulated genes and 482 downregulated genes between the experimental group and the model group. Differentially expressed genes are mainly concentrated in AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling pathway, apoptosis signaling pathway, and arginine biosynthesis signaling pathway. Overall, MSCs can significantly improve the degree of damages to mice testis caused by lead acetate and have a certain repairing effect.

Tepung Labu Kuning (Cucurbita moschata), Tepung Porang (Amorphophallus muelleri Blume), dan Kombinasi Kedua Tepung sebagai Penurun Gula Darah dan Peningkat Motilitas Spermatozoa Mencit (Mus musculus)

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a global epidemic with high morbidity and mortality. Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is thought to have a negative impact on sperm quality. Yellow pumpkin contains antioxidants that can neutralize free radicals which can improve fertility. Glucomannan is a substance contained in porang which functions as a soluble fiber and plays a role in blood glucose balance. This study aims to examine pumpkin flour, porang flour and a combination of both flours on sperm motility and body weight of alloxan-induced diabetic mice. This study used 25 mice aged 3 months, body weight 25gr-30 gr. This study used a completely randomized plan (CRD) with 5 replications and 5 treatments. The treatments were negative control (diabetic mice), positive control (administration of glimepiride at a dose of 0.0078 mg/mice per day), D1 (pumpkin flour 134.4 mg/30g BW of mice), D2 (porang flour 63mg/30g BW mice), D3 (combination 50% : 50% = 67.2 mg : 31.5 mg/30 grBW mice). Diabetic mice were made by intraperitoneal induction of alloxan dose of 200 mg/Kg for 3 days. The parameters observed were spermatozoa motility, body weight and blood sugar levels of the mice. The research data were analyzed using the ANOVA test followed by the BNT test. The results showed that the administration of glymeride, pumpkin flour, porang flour and their combination had a significant effect on reducing blood sugar (p=0.000) and sperm motility (p=0.000), but had no effect on body weight (p=0.317). Conclusion: pumpkin flour, porang flour or a combination of both flours can be used as herbs to lower blood sugar and increase sperm motility in diabetes sufferers.

Fluorene-9-bisphenol exposure damages the testis in mice through a novel mechanism of ferroptosis

Fluorene-9-bisphenol (BHPF) is an emerging global endocrine-disrupting chemical found in numerous household products as a substitute of bisphenol A. Many studies have reported various toxicities associated with BHPF. However, the effect of BHPF on male reproduction, particularly on the structural integrity of the blood testis barrier (BTB) in mice, has not yet been extensively studied. Ferroptosis, a newly identified form of cell death, occurs in the testicular tissue following exposure to BPA, affecting male fertility. We investigated whether ferroptosis plays a role in BHPF-induced testicular damage. The findings indicated that BHPF exposure led decreases in serum testosterone (T) concentration and sperm concentration and motility in mice. Furthermore, BHPF disrupted the BTB by interfering with key BTB-related proteins, including Cx43, β-catenin, and ZO-1. Moreover, BHPF induced ferroptosis through the induction of lipid peroxidation, iron overload, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction in the testicular tissue. Inhibition of ferroptosis using Fer-1 mitigated the BHPF-induced damage to the BTB and ferroptosis in TM4 cells. Overall, our findings indicated the detrimental effects of BHPF on male reproductive function in mice, suggesting ferroptosis as a mechanism underlying testicular damage.

Pyruvate modulation of redox potential controls mouse sperm motility

Sperm gain fertilization competence in the female reproductive tract through a series of biochemical changes and a requisite switch from linear progressive to hyperactive motility. Despite being essential for fertilization, regulation of sperm energy transduction is poorly understood. This knowledge gap confounds interpretation of interspecies variation and limits progress in optimizing sperm selection for assisted reproduction. Here, we developed a model of mouse sperm bioenergetics using metabolic phenotyping data, quantitative microscopy, and spectral flow cytometry. The results define a mechanism of motility regulation by microenvironmental pyruvate. Rather than being consumed as a mitochondrial fuel source, pyruvate stimulates hyperactivation by repressing lactate oxidation and activating glycolysis in the flagellum through provision of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)+. These findings provide evidence that the transitions in motility requisite for sperm competence are governed by changes in the metabolic microenvironment, highlighting the unexplored potential of using catabolite combination to optimize sperm selection for fertilization.

Taste receptor type 1 member 3 regulates Western diet-induced male infertility

Western diet (WD), characterized by a high intake of fats and sugary drinks, is a risk factor for male reproductive impairment. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this remain unclear. Taste receptor type 1 member 3 (TAS1R3), activated by ligands of WD, is highly expressed in extra-oral tissues, particularly in the testes. Here, we investigated to determine the effects of WD intake on male reproduction and whether TAS1R3 mediates WD-induced impairment in male reproduction. Male C57BL/6 J wild-type (WT) and Tas1r3 knockout (KO) mice were fed either a normal diet and plain water (ND) or a 60 % high-fat-diet and 30 % (w/v) sucrose water (WD) for 18 weeks (n = 7–9/group). Long-term WD consumption significantly impaired sperm count, motility and testicular morphology in WT mice with marked Tas1r3 overexpression, whereas Tas1r3 KO mice were protected from WD-induced reproductive impairment. Testicular transcriptome analysis revealed downregulated AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling and significantly elevated AMPK-targeted nuclear receptor 4A1 (Nr4a1) expression in WD-fed Tas1r3 KO mice. In vitro studies further validated that Tas1r3 knockdown in Leydig cells prevented the suppression of Nr4a1 and downstream steroidogenic genes (Star, Cyp11a1, Cyp17a1, and Hsd3b1) caused by high glucose, fructose, and palmitic acid levels, and maintained the levels of testosterone. Additionally, we analyzed the public human dataset to assess the clinical implications of our findings and confirmed a significant association between TAS1R3 and male-infertility-related diseases. Our findings suggest that TAS1R3 regulates WD-induced male reproductive impairment via the AMPK/NR4A1 signaling and can be a novel therapeutic target for male infertility.

Dnali1 is required for sperm motility and male fertility in mice

BackgroundThe sperm flagellum is an evolutionarily conserved specialized organelle responsible for sperm motility and male fertility. Deleterious mutations in genes involved in the sperm flagellum assembly can often cause sperm motility defects and male infertility. The murine Dnali1 gene encodes a protein that is known to interact with the cytoplasmic dynein heavy chain 1.ResultsA Dnali1-mutated mouse model was generated by inducing a nonsense mutation in the Dnali1 gene. The Dnali1-mutated male mice presented impaired sperm motility and were completely infertile. Although no obviously abnormal sperm morphology was observed in Dnali1-mutated male mice, the ultrastructural structure of sperm flagellum was disrupted, displaying as an asymmetrical distribution of the longitudinal columns (LCs). Notably, infertile Dnali1-mutated male mice were able to obtain offspring via ICSI.ConclusionsOur results uncover a role of DNALI1 in sperm motility and male fertility in mice, and demonstrate that ICSI overcomes Dnali1-associated male infertility, thus providing guidance for the diagnosis and genetic counseling of DNALI1-associated human infertility.

Low-Fat, High-Carbohydrate Diets Reduce Body Weight and Sperm Count but Increase Sperm Motility in Mice

BackgroundMale reproduction is impacted by both over- and under-nutrition, demonstrated by animal studies using high-fat and low-protein dietary interventions. Little is known about the impacts of low-fat, high-carb diets and types of dietary carbohydrates on sperm traits. ObjectivesUsing a nutritional geometry approach, we investigated the effects of partially or completely substituting glucose for fructose in isocaloric diets containing either 10%, 20%, or 30% fat (by energy) on sperm traits in mice. MethodsMale C57BL/6J mice were fed 1 of 15 experimental diets for 18 wk starting from 8 wk of age. Reproductive organs were then harvested, and sperm concentration, motility, and velocity were measured using Computer-Assisted Sperm Analysis. ResultsIncreasing dietary fat from 10% to 30% while maintaining energy density at 14.3 kJ/g and protein content at 20% resulted in increased body weight and sperm production but reduced the percentage of motile sperm. Body weight and seminal vesicle weight were maximized on diets containing a 50:50 mix of fructose and glucose, but carbohydrate type had few significant impacts on epididymal sperm traits. ConclusionsThe opposing impacts of dietary fat on mouse sperm quantity and quality observed suggest that male fertility may not be optimized by a single diet; rather, context-specific dietary guidelines targeted to specific concerns in semen quality may prove useful in treating male infertility.

Effect of Noni Extract (Morinda citrifolia L.) on Spermatozoa Quality of Mice (Mus musculus L.)

This study aims to see the effect of giving noni extract (Morinda citrifolia L.) on the quality of spermatozoa of mice (Mus musculus L.). This study was conducted using an experimental method, with a completely randomized design (RAL), 3 treatments with 5 replicates with 15 male mice divided into three treatment groups, namely the control group (P0), the treatment group with a concentration of 0.3 g/BW (P1), and the treatment group with a concentration of 0.6 g/BW (P2) which then the data were analyzed using ANOVA. This research was conducted from March 2 to April 4, 2023. Observations of the effect of giving noni extract were made by making wet preparations of mice sperm and then observing under a microscope. Based on the research conducted, it was found that noni extract had a different effect from each concentration on motility and morphology in sperm. From the research, it can be concluded that the higher the concentration of noni extract given to mice will reduce the quality of sperm in mice However, at a concentration of 0.3 g/BB, it was found that noni had a positive effect on sperm morphology and motility in mice (Mus musculus L).
