Title StatementAntifertility activity of various extracts of Crotalaria juncea, Linn., seeds in male mice by B. Vijaykumar, I. Sangamma, A. Sharanabasappa and Saraswati B. Patil
Physical Description39-46, ill., tables, 43 refs
Summary, Etc.
Petroleum ether, benzene and ethanolic extracts of Crotalaria juncea Linn. seeds were administerd intraperitoneally at the dose level of 25 mg/100 g body weight to albino male mice for 30 days. The results show decrease in the number of spermatogonia. Biochemical observations indicate increased level of cholesterol and significant reduction in protein and glycogen content. The increased cholesterol content along with degeneration of Leydig cells indicate inhibited seroidogenesis. The decrease in the weight of accessory reproductive organs further attributes lowered availability of androgens due likely to inhibited steroidogenesis. Out of the three extracts tested, ethanolic extract seems to be more potent in antispermatogenic and antisteroidogenic activities. When ethanolic extract was tested in immature mice fro androgenic activity, it showed its antiandrogenic potency as the weight of accessory sex organs were reduced.
