Hepatoprotective effect of hydroethanolic extract of Tragopogongraminifolius in rats induced withCCl4

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine whether varicocele can cause any changes in number and size of ovarian follicles.
In this study, 30 adult female Wistar albino rats in 3 groups (n=10) consisting of: 1. control, 2. Sham and 3. varicocele are prepared. Varicocele group were operated and left ovarian vein was respectively closed. After 2 months the animal scarified and the ovaries taken for histological process. Statistical analysis was performed using the one way ANOVA and Turkey’s tests were used for post hoc multiple comparisons, was considered statistically significant.
There is no significant differences in rat and ovary weights before and after varicose induction between groups. The number of primordial follicles in varicocele group increased significantly. The number of primary, secondary and graffian follicles in varicocele group decreased significantly. The size of secondary follicles in varicocele group decreased significantly (P Finally the results of this study shows that varicocele may lead to increased female infertility through various factors, which includes changes in follicular growth.
