Enhancing The Therapeutic Uses Of Ashwagandha powder (Withaniasomnifera) In Improving Immunity, Blood Characteristics, And Fertility In Male Rats Suffering From Infertility

Abstract

Male infertility is commonly caused by congenital or acquired disorders. Aim: The current research aims to enhance the therapeutic uses of ashwagandha in improving immunity, blood characteristics, and fertility in male rats suffering from infertility. In this study, blood characteristics are assessed by measuring various hematological variables like the count of WBC, RBC, and concentrations of hemoglobin. Materials and Methods: 24 male Sprague-Dawley mice have been split into 4 groups: 1st group: normal rats (number=six) as control (-), 2nd group: infertile mice (number=six) as a control, 3rd group of infertile mice which received a basal diet +7% of ashwagandha powder, and the 4th group of infertile rats ’(number=six) received a basal diet +9% of ashwagandha powder. Following twenty-eight days, blood was gathered and serum obtained to find out hemoglobin, platelets, and RBCs. WBC, IgG, IgM, IgA, glucose, liver enzymes, kidney function and blood lipids, FSH, LH, and testosterone hormones. Results: The higher concentration of RBCs and WBCs of the treating group was documented for the infertile group of rats fed on 9% of ashwagandha powder. FSH, LH, and testosterone are hormones, but the mean values of groups (3 and 4) differed significantly.
