چکیده


 Purpose: To investigate the in vitro effects of methanol leaf extract E. hirta (MLEEH) on motility, viability and morphology caprine spermatozoa.
 Methods: The effect MLEEH treatment (1.25, 2.5, 5, 10 20 mg per mL) sperm percentage total progressive abnormalities were evaluated at 1, 5 min post-treatment. Sperm revival test was used to evaluate reversibility incapacitation following treatment.
 Results: There significant interactions (p < 0.001) between concentration duration motility viability. Increase caused decreases 0.05) viability, whereas not altered. Washing supplementation MLEEH-treated failed revive motility.
 Conclusion: causes concentration-dependent time-dependent as well irreversible immobilization spermatozoa. These findings suggest possible adverse fertility males. Thus, can be potentially developed an antifertility or contraceptive agent.
