Abstract

Background and Objective: SAFFRON is widely used as a food flavor and has well known medicinal effects. Recent studies have revealed that main components of SAFFRON including carotenoids: crocin, crocetin, picrocrocin and safranal have a large number of physiological effects on different biological systems. We decided to assess the possible effect of SAFFRON extract on concentratians of LH, FSH and TESTOSTERONE in MICE.Materials and Methods: Four groups each including eight adult male Balb/C MICE weighing 30±5g were chosen. Normal saline was administered as placebo to control group and SAFFRON extract in doses of 25 , mg/kg/48h, 50mg/kg/48h and 100mg/kg/48h was injected intraperitoneally for for 20 days to test groups. Serum FSH, LH and TESTOSTERONE, were measured using ELISA.Results: The level of FSH, LH and TESTOSTERONE significantly increased in 100 mg/kg SAFFRON treated group, as compared with with placebo group. No significant differences were observed between other test groups and placebo.Conclusion: The study indicates efficacy of SAFFRON extract in dose of 100 mg/kg/ 48h on pituitary-testis axis in MICE. However further studies are needed to determine the effect of SAFFRON on human reproductivity.
