Abstract

Infertility is one of the major health problems in life. More factors such as drug treatment, chemotherapy, toxins, air pollutants, and insufficient vitamins intake have harmful effects on spermatogenesis and sperm normal production.Previous phytochemical investigations of the Commelina genus were reported on C. undulata.,C. benghalensis L. and C. communis L. from which several types of compounds such as alkaloids, steroids, terpenoids, iridoids, flavonoids, lignans, aliphatic alcohols, polyols, and phenolic acids were obtained1.The objective of the study is evaluating the effect of the Commelina benghalensis extract on male rats by evaluating some andrological parameters of the Wistar rat such as sperm volume, motility, count, liveability and morphology which are some of the indices that determine the ability of a male rats to produce viable spermatozoa and it is used as a sex stimulant in rural areas.
