摘要:Balanites aegyptiaca has been reported to be important saponins. Therefore, this study aimed at elucidating the protective effects of B. aegyptiaca sapogenin extract (BASE) against infertility caused by aluminium chloride in male rats. The first group served as control (NC). Group 2 received AlCl3 (34 mg/kg bw) (1/25 LD50) (PC). Groups 3, 4 and 5 were treated with AlCl3 (34 mg/kg bw) plus BASE at different doses (25, 50 and 100 mg/kg bw) for 70 days.
