چکیده
Background Selegiline is used to treat Parkinsonian patients. Other indications of its use have recently been discovered. Objective Scouting special and beneficial side effects of selegiline treatment. Method Two-year old male Wistar rats were daily treated with 0.25 mg/kg of selegiline s.c. (subcutaneous injection). The rats were sacrificed following a four-weeks' treatment. Results Mass of testes, number of sperms, progressive motility of sperms, and their viability definitely increased. Conclusion Selegiline can successfully be used to stop/counterbalance certain symptoms of aging.
