Effects of Bryophyllum pinnatum on Male Rat Fertility: Mating Efficiency, Pregnancy Rate and Litter Size

Previous investigations have demonstrated that Bryophyllum pinnatum enhances sperm characteristics, reproductive hormone levels, and testicular histoarchitecture in male rats. However, functional fertility outcomes following treatment remain inadequately documented. This study evaluated the fertility potential of B. pinnatum-treated male rats using mating efficiency, pregnancy rate, and litter size as definitive indices of male fertility. Adult male Wistar rats were orally administered B. pinnatum leaf extract at doses of 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg body weight.

Evaluation of the Efficacy of Extracting Solvents on the Phytochemical, Antibacterial and Synergistic Effects of Bryophyllum pinnatum L. and Citrus aurantifolia SW.

The aim of this research was to assess the efficacy of different extracting solvents on the phytochemical, antibacterial and synergistic effects of Bryophyllum pinnatum and Citrus aurantifolia. Four bacterial species: Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were used as test organisms and the antibacterial activity of the extracts was determined by the agar-well diffusion method.
