| Abstract | ||||
| Formaldehyde is naturally produced in our bodies and is found in multi products around us. This study aimed to examine the effects of jonnaldehyde exposure in milk upon rabbits' testicular functions and /he possible protective role of L-Carnitine as an antagollislfor these effects. Twenty male adult rab bits were used in the present study. divided into jour groups. Co111rol group, formaldehyde group, formal dehyde and L-Camiline group and LrCarnitine group. Semen analysis was done for all groups in addi tion to Doppler Ultrasonography for testicles. All seminal parameters were affected by formaldehyde exposure in milk; the effects were severe in the form of decrease the sperm count, motility, and increase in the abnormal forms. In contrary rabbits received LrCarnitine showed dramaJic improvement in all seminal parameters. Conclusion: L- Carnitine can be used as a protective agent for formoldehyde effects on testicular disorders. | ||||
