Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
The antifertility activity of ethanolic bark extract of Meliaazedarach (200 & 400mg/kg) was observed in male rats. The extract was administered once daily for 15 days to male Wistar albino rats. The male rats were allowed to mate with sexually active female of same strain and the % of pregnancy, number of implantation and number of viable fetuses was observed. Both the doses of Meliaazedarachsignificantly decrease the % of pregnancy, number of implantation and number of viable fetuses in female rats compared to control rats. From the results it was concluded that ethanolic bark extract of Meliaazedarach exhibits antifertility in male rats.
