| Abstract: | Fertility control is an issue of global and national public health concern. Many
studies have been done on the male contraception. The traditional use of
medicinal plants to treat different sorts of diseases, including fertility
related problems is widespread throughout the world as many plant substances are
known for their interferences with the male reproductive system. The present
review is an attempt to summarize the fertility regulatory plants with part
used, type of extract/isolated compounds (active principles) along with animal
model used. The literature covered is of 25 years i.e. from 1980 to 2005 for 105
plants showing antifertility activity in males. |
