Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effects of Morus alba leaves extracts(ethanol hydro-alcohol 60%) on (sperm count and testicular weight) in experimentally streptozotocin induced diabetes in male rats. Fourty adult male albino rats weighting (150 -200 g) were used and divided into 4 experimental groups, 10 rats in each group: The first group was served as control group. The remaining groups were injected intra pretonial by streptozotocin (STZ) at 45 mg/kg b.wt to induce diabetes. The second diabetic group was received as control diabetic group. The third diabetic group was treated with Cidophage (500 mg/kg, orally).While, the fourth diabetic groups were treated with Morus alba leaves extracts (600 mg/kg b.w orally). All treatment were given daily for successive 30 days. After end treatments all rats were sacrificed and parameters were measured. The obtained results demonstrated the use of Morus alba leaves extracts improve of sperm count  and testicular weight of diabetic rats. Hydro-alcoholic extract 60% of Morus alba leave could improve the sperm count and testicular weight of diabetes male rats.
