The main cause of male infertility is Sperm dysfunction. In this experimental 30 male mice were divided randomly into three groups, ten included in each. The control group received tap water while the second and third groups treated with 200 and 400 mg/kg/B.W of Petroselinumcrispum extract respectively. After completion of the treatment, the result showed significantly increased (P≤0.05) in the weight of the body, testes, prostate and seminal vesicles as compared to the control group. On other hand significantly increased (P≤0.05) in the percentage of motility and life of sperm while significant decreased (P≤0.05) showed in the percentage of denaturation of sperm vesicles as compared to the control group. However significant increased (P≤0.05) in the serum hormone level (FSH, LH and testosterone) for both groups treated with extract as compared to the control group.
