Anti-mutagenic, Immune Modulator and Fertility Effects of Romary (Rosmarinus offcinalis) Extracts in Albino Male Mice
The present study was designed to evaluate the immunological, cytogenetic and fertility effects of two extracts (methanol and hexane) of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) leaves and stems in male albino mice. The immunological parameters included total and absolute counts of leucocytes and phagocytosis, while the cytogenetic evaluation was carried out through the detection of micronucleus formation in polychromatic erythrocytes and spermhead bnormalities. The fertility assessment was considered in terms of sperm count and otility.
