Effect of Supplementation of Bovine Placental Powder on Testicular Tissue and Spermatozoa in Aging Rat Model

Background: Aging in the male reproductive system can cause testicular degeneration. Nowadays, regenerative medicine is a developing domain. This study conducted to describe potential effects of dried bovine placenta supplementation on percentage abnormal spermatozoa, density seminiferous tubules luminal content and Leydig cells counts D-galactose-induced aging rats. Methods: A total 15 healthy adult Wistar rats were used this study. Rats randomly divided into three groups, A: control, B: D-galactose treated, C: treated supplemented with 10% placenta. The count determined. One-Way ANOVA was for statistical analysis. Result: average per cent spermatozoa did not differ. tubule proportion full Group C (55.2%) higher than B (31.8%, P=0.001) but relatively similar (62%, P=0.513). medium (23.3%) lower (34.2%, P=0.016) (25.8%, P=1.000). low (21.5%) (34.0%, (13.4%, P=0.139). number counted In conclusion, improved
