Aim: To assess the effects of essential oil from guava leaves on some reproductive parameters. Methods: Thirty-two male guinea pigs (Cavia porcelus) of three months old and weighing between 350 and 400 g were used. These guinea pigs were divided into 4 groups of 8 animals each. Each group was randomly attributed orally for 60 days one of the following guava leaf essential oil doses: 0 (control group), 80, 100 and 120 μl of oil per kg body weight. At the end of treatment, all animals were sacrificed to assess the reproductive parameters. Results: Body weight, relative weight of the seminal vesicles, vas deferens, and epididymis were not significantly increased (p>0.05) with the considered guava leaves essential oil doses. The testes weights significantly increased (p |
