[HTML][HTML] Sperm characteristics and ultrastructure of testes of rats after long-term treatment with the methanol subfraction of Carica papaya seeds
The contraceptive efficacy of Carica papaya seeds after short-term evaluation has been well
established. We have examined the safety and mechanism of contraception in rats after long-
term treatment with the methanol subfraction (MSF) of C. papaya seeds. The test substance
was administered orally to the male albino rats (n= 40) at 50 mg per kg body weight each
day for 360 days. Control animals (n= 40) received olive oil as a vehicle. Recovery was
assessed up to 120 days after treatment withdrawal. Sperm parameters, serum testosterone …
