Spermatogenic and antiradical activities of the hydro-ethanolic extract of Strychnos camptoneura (longaniaceae) trunk barks in Wistar rats

The objective of the present study were to evaluate spermatogenic and antiradical potentialities hydro-ethanolic extract Strychnos camptoneura trunk bark in male wistar rats. For this purpose, 20 rats divided into 4 lots 5 animals received respectively for 1 2 distilled water testosterone enanthate. Lots 3 treated with (100 250 mg/kg). results obtained show that, administration mg /kg/po) orally caused significant dose-dependent increases (p < 0.05; p 0.01 0 .001) sperm concentration motility rates compared control group water. On other hand, vitality normal only 0.01) at respective doses 100 /kg negative controls. In addition, there was no variation pH ˃ 0.05) any dose level. Chemical analysis hydro-ethanol revealed existence phenolic compounds especially polyphenols total flavonoids endowed antioxidant properties. improvement characteristics semen reduction DPPH radical observed work, justify its biological use traditional medicine treatment infertility.
