This study was performed to investigate the effects of date palm pollen on diabetic male rat's fertility. A total of twenty four rats divided into four groups were used in this study. Varying doses of the date palm pollen 5, 10 and 20% were used. Parameters used in the methodology were weight of testis, malonildiahidehyde concentration, histological study, hormonal assay and sperm analysis. Results of date palm pollen revealed no significant change in weight of testis, inhibition of testicular tissue peroxidation, improve testosterone levels, parameters of sperm analysis such as sperm concentration and motility in comparison to the control group. Obvious cellular changes were also observed in the high level 20% treated groups. The changes observed in groups treated with 10% and 5% were minimal and statistically in significant. The results showed that oral administration of date palm pollen to male rats for 65 days kept the weight of testes and seminal vesicles; improved semen quality and quantity and testosterone levels in the opposite of the results of the level 20% of the pollen.
