Abstract
The aim of the present study was to determine the influence that Zingiber officinale (ginger) has on the development of sperm of the male mice. There were used 10 male mice which were treated with ginger, each receiving about 0,026 g natural product on the basis of ginger. From the group of 10 male mice, 8 males were sacrificed for the analysis of sperm cells, and the other 2 were put at one part with 5 females each. Sperm study was done under a microscope, quantitative determination was made by using the Macklercamera, and the qualitative with colorants hematoxylin and eosin. Analysis of sperm cells shows us that, on the whole, ginger does not have a positive effect on spermatogenesis in males mice of line SWISS. Compared with other studies, our results are contradictory.
