Journal Title: The Journal of Phytopharmacology - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of the leaves of Annona senegalensis on morphometric parameters of the female reproductive organs in rabbits. A total of 120 rabbits were divided into four batches A, B, C and D of 30 animals each. Lots B, C an d D received 10, 20 and 30 g leaves of Annona Senegalensis / kg of feed respectively, while lot A (control group) was fed with the staple feed (without Annona senegalensis leaves). At the end of the experiment, the animals were dissected and morphometric parameters of the different genital organs were measured. The results sho wed that the average live weight, the average lengths of the left oviduct and the average lengths of the vagina did not vary significantly between different experimental groups (p> 0.05). On the other hand, the weight of the right ovary, the left and right uterus, right oviduct, vagina and reproductive system varied significantly between batches (p <0.05). , the right oviduct length of Lot D was the longest (15.52 cm ± 2.83) with a shorter right uterus (5.87 cm ± 1.43) compared to other lots.
