Effect of aquatic extract of Rosemarinus officinalis L.Leaves in the levels of ovary hormones and gonadotropins in the rats exposed to toxicosis by nitrate

Abstract

To Studding the Effect of aquatic extract of Rosemarinus officinalis L. Leaves in the levels of ovary hormones and gonadotropins in the rats exposed to toxicosis by nitrate, taken (20) adult female rats, were divided into four groups: control group that was drenched with (0.5) ml distill water, group G1 drenched sodium nitrate in concentration (200)mg/kg, group G2 was given Rosemarinus officinalis leves extract in concentration (226.68) mg/kg, and this concentration of Rosemarinus officinalis leves extract present effect dose (ED50. While group G3 was given sodium nitrate in concentration (200)mg/kg and Rosemarinus officinalis leves extract in concentration (226.68) mg/kg, it was daily treatment continued for (16) days . The result showd that Rosemarinus officinalis extract led to significant increase (p< 0.05) in ovary hormones level that include estrogen and progesterone hormone, addition significant increase (p< 0.05) in gonadotropins that include Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Lutelnizing Hormone (LH). significant decrease (p< 0.05) in estrogen and progesterone hormone, addition into significant decrease (p< 0.05) in level Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Lutelnizing Hormone (LH) in group treated with nitrate. Extract with nitrate performed improvement in level estrogen, progesterone, Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Lutelnizing Hormone (LH).
