Abstract

Ginger is recognized as antioxidants and chemoprotective. Therefore the rhizome extract of this plant could allegedly reverse aging process. The study is intended to investigate the possible effects of rhizome extract of white ginger (Zingiber officinale Roxb.) on the testicular function of aging male mice (Mus musculus Linn.). Male albino mice aged 12-14 months, grouped into three consisted of 12 mice, were given extract orally as follows: 0 mg/kg (as a control), 50mg/kg and 100 mg/kg daily for 70 days. The testicular function parameters assessed were: the number of spermatogenic cells, the number and quality of sperm. Compared to control group, male mice treated with ginger extract showed significant high quality of sperm count, viability, motility and morphology (P<0.001). Histological parameters of the testis: pre-leptotene as well as pachytene spermatocytes and spermatids cells also significantly higher in the treated group (P <0.01) than that of control. In conclusion, rhizome extract of ginger effectively maintain function of reproductive system of male mice in aging process and, thus, ginger is potentially as the fertility and anti-aging herbs.
