Abstract

The main objective of this study was to investigate the efficiency ofMoringa and sage leaves as protective agents on deltamethrin–induced morphological and functional changes in gonads of male albino rats. Dry Moringa and sage leaves were chemically analyzed in order to identify their nutritive values. For the biological study fifty four adult normal male albino rats (Sprague Dawley strain) of an average body weight 150-180 g were divided into 9 groups of 6 rats each including control (-ve) group, control (+ ve) group 1 (administered deltamethrin orally at 10mg/kg b.wt.), control (+ ve) group 2 (administered deltamethrin orally at 5mg/kg b.wt.The 4th and 5th groups were fed on standard ration containing Moringa and sage leaf powders at 5 and 2.5%, respectively, while the 6th and 7 th groups were fed on standard ration containing Moringa leaves powder (5%) and received deltamethrin (10 and 5mg/kg b.wt., respectively), and the 8 th and 9th groups were fed on standard ration containing sage leaves powder (2.5%) and received deltamethrin (10 and 5mg/kg b.wt., respectively). Feeding trial continued for 30 successive days. Results indicated the high nutritional values of Moringa and sage leaves. Although deltamethrin administration at its two doses did not affect the relative weights of sexual organs including testis, seminal vesicle glandsepididymis and prostateit caused significant reductions in both sperm cell count and motility while sperm abnormalities including bent head and detached tail were significantly increased.It can be concluded that supplementation of daily meals with dried Moringa and sage leaves are recommended to prevent from infertility resulted from exposure to deltamethrin.
