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.
