Abstract
Background: Infertility is a problem which affects one in six couples. However, male factor considers solely responsible in about 20% of infertile couples and contributory in another 30–40%. Objective: The aim of this study was to elucidate the effect of date palm pollen (DPP) and date palm seed extract (DPS) on cadmium-induced infertility in male rats. Materials and Methods: Thirty six male albino rats were divided into six groups (n=6) and received their treatment orally for 30 days: group 1, control; group 2, (DPP): (240mg/kg) daily, group 3, (DPS): (100mg/kg) daily, group 4, (CdCl2): (5mg/kg) every other day, group 5, (CdCl2 + DPP): CdCl2 as group 4, followed by DPP as group 2 (each dose given 2 hours after CdCl2); group 6, (CdCl2 + DPS): CdCl2 as group 4, followed by DPS as group 3 (each dose was given 2 hours after CdCl2). Results: The current data exhibited significant decrease in the sperm quality, T, E2, FSH, LH, aromatase enzyme, TAC, GSH, SOD and CAT, with marked increase in MDA& XO and severe destruction in testis histoarchitecture in CdCl2 treated rats. However, there was a significant improvement in all these parameters with DPP& DPS administration. Conclusion: consumption of DPP or DPS might be considered as a functional treatment for retarding risks of infertility associated with cadmium exposure.
