Furthermore, pregnancy rate females markedly reduced by 60% 80% after mating males mg/kg, respectively. At same time, significant decreases detected seminal vesicles testicular weight that received control Testosterone levels decreased significantly both groups Histologically, seminiferous tubules showed arrests spermatogenesis number mature sperms. Therefore, results this suggest ethanolic possesses potential effects.
