Abstract

It is commonly accepted that the sex of newborns is under the influence of parental blood pH and cations level. On the other hand survey in the field of Iranian and Islamic medicine customy indicates that with parental consumption of CHICORY, the sex of babies is very likely to become male. In this study, the effects of parental administration of CHICORY leaves (Cichorium intybus L.) extract on the blood pH and cations level and the sex of newborns of Wistar RAT were investigated. Both sexes of experimental groups 1 and 2 (5 males and 12 females in each group), respectively, were injected intraperitonealy by 1 and 0.7 g/kg body weight (LD50= 2.244 g/kg) Soxhlet aqueous extract of CHICORY leaves for a duration of 30 days, by 72 hours intervals. Control RATs (4 male and 16 females) were injected distilled water. During the injectional period, blood samples were collected from all animals and the pH of the blood and the serum concentrations of Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+ and testosterone level (in males) were measured. At day 30, all RATs were mated inter- and intra-grouply. After birth, the male and female newborns were counted and the sex RATio of each group was calculated. The results obtained from the present investigation showed that blood pH and the serum levels of Ca2+ and Mg2+ in all groups were unchanged while there was a significant increase (p<0.01)in Na+ and K+ level (and therefore [Na+]+[K+]/ [Ca2+]+[Mg2+] of experimental group 1, comparing with control group. Also the sex RATio of experimental group 1 showed an increase by 10.23%, which was significant (p<0.05). No significant differences was found in serum levels of Na+, K+ and the sex RATio of experimental group 2 comparing with control group. But there was a significant difference between experimental group 1 and 2. These results indicate that CHICORY leave consumption probably by altering the electrolytes balance of the body internal environment may increases the sex RATio.
