Abstract

The effect of maca root extract on improving sperm status in obese diabetic male rats was studied. Thirty-five rats were used and divided into five groups: a healthy positive group, four groups with obesity and diabetes, a negative group, and three groups fed maca root extract at levels of 100, 300, and 500 ml for six weeks. The rats were slaughtered, serum was extracted, and the following estimates were made: Blood lipid profile (TC), total cholesterol (TG), triglycerides, very low-density cholesterol (VLDL-C), high-density cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density cholesterol (LDL-C), liver functions (AST, ALT, ALP), sex hormones (Testosterone, FSH, LH), antioxidants (CAT, MDA), sperm ratio, and glucose. The results showed a significant improvement in liver functions, blood lipids (triglycerides, total cholesterol), a decrease in harmful cholesterol, and an increase in good cholesterol.  Improve  in Sex hormones and sperm percentage in rats fed maca root extract compared to negative groups.
