Effects of sesame oil on the reproductive parameters of diabetes mellitus-induced male rats

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of sesame oil on the reproductive parameters of diabetic male Wistar rats. The adult male rats in a split plot design were divided into normal (n=10), normal 5% (n=5; 5% sesame oil enriched diet), diabetic (Streptozocin induced diabetes;...

Description
Summary:The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of sesame oil on the reproductive parameters of diabetic male Wistar rats. The adult male rats in a split plot design were divided into normal (n=10), normal 5% (n=5; 5% sesame oil enriched diet), diabetic (Streptozocin induced diabetes; n=9), diabetic 5% (n=9; 5% sesame oil enriched diet), and diabetic 10% (n=9; 10% sesame oil enriched diet) groups. Diet supplementation continued for 56 days. Sesame oil supplementation did not reduce the plasma glucose concentration of rats in the diabetic groups (p>0.05). The total spermatogonia, spermatocytes, Leydig cells/tubule, and the germ cell to Sertoli cell ratio were lower in the diabetic rats than the normal ones (p
