Seeham Ali Qasim, Abeer Salih Ali.

Plants have been used as a treatment for many diseases from ancient to our times, it has a great source of different drugs that used for our health benefits. This study assessed the effects of diluted Punica granatum (P. granatum) juice and Eruca sativa (E. sativa) fresh leaves on testosterone hormone level in male albino rabbits. Twenty-one rabbits theirÌ• s weight between 1500 - 1800g, divided into 3 groups each group consisting of 7 rabbits for 30 days. Group1 as a control, group 2 received 500 ml of diluted Punica juice daily; group 3 received 350 g of fresh leaves of Eruca sativa. Blood samples were collected after and calibrated 15 and 30 days for testosterone hormone. Statistically significant increase in testosterone levels in group (2) (P. granatum) at day 15, 30 respectively with mean values (13.671±0.830 and 22.257±0.822) ng/ml when compared with the control mean value (9.771±0.368 and 9.500±0.490) ng/ml at same days. And also, there was a significant increase in testosterone levels in group (3) E. vesicaria with mean values (12.100± 0.551and 15.071±0.61) ng/ml at day 15 and 30 respectively compared with the control mean value (9.771±0.368 and 9.500±0.490) ng/ml at same days. a significant increase(p Ë‚ 0.01) appeared in testosterone level in group 2 on day (15,30) with mean values(13.671±0.830 and 22.257±0.822) ng/ml compared with group 3 mean values (12.100± 0.551and 15.071±0.61) ng/ml at same days. Increment testosterone levels were dependent on phytochemical compound that present in both plants .Punica Granatum and Eruca vesicaria could be used safely for treatment of sexual dysfunction due to the decrease in serum testosterone level, also Studies should be carried out to identify and isolate the active ingredients in those plants and to be extracted and used as a treatment of infertility. We also recommend that further observation and studying of the herbals and their positive effect that help to improve the public health.
