Lecturer Dr. Dhu Al-Fiqar Abbas Mutab from the Department of Biology published a research paper titled: The effects of different doses of Stanozolol on sperm parameters and testicular histology in male rats: An experimental study (The effects of different doses of Stanozolol on sperm parameters and testicular tissue in male rats: An experimental study) in the International Journal of Reproductive BioMedicine indexed in Scopus Q3 The research aimed to evaluate the effects of different doses of Stanozolol on testicular tissue and sperm quality in rats.
The study involved 20 male Worcester rats (8–10 weeks old, 250–325 tablets) randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 5 per group). The control group was covered with distilled water orally. Groups 2, 3, and 4 were administered stanozolol at doses of 5, 10, and 15 mg/kg intravenously daily. After 60 days, the animals were sacrificed. The testes and epididymis were then removed, weighed, and prepared for histological examination and sperm analysis.
The study found that sperm count and seminiferous tubule diameters were significantly reduced in the 5 mg/kg (p = 0.002) and 15 mg/kg (p = 0.008) groups compared to the control group (p < 0.05).
