dc.description.abstractMyristica fragransHoutt also called Nutmeg, has long been used to treat male sexual disorders. The aim of our current work is to study the chronic effect of an aqueous extract of nutmeg in a dose 400 mg/kg body weight on male Albino Wistar rats fertility.12 males used in the realization of this experiment, oral administration of the extract in a dose of 400 mg for 33 days and daily resulted in a decrease in the weight of the rats, a decrease in food intake, decreased levels of testosterone, also a decrease in sperm concentration and motility except for organs weight and sperm velocity there was a significant increase all this compared to the control group. As a conclusion, continuous exposure to nutmeg in specific doses and for long periods may lead to a decrease in male rats fertility.
