This study was conducted to investigate the effect of some plant seeds (Lettuce and Parsley) on sexual hormones in male albino rats. Fifteen mature male white albino rats, weighing 160± 5g, rats were divided into 3 groups male each with five rats, all groups were fed for 28 days on experimental diet as follows: Control group was fed on standard diet. Other groups were fed on experimental basal diet with supplementation ratio of seeds i.e. lettuce and parsley up to 5%. At the end of the experiment, blood samples were collected for determine the following parameters: sexual hormones (testosterone), lipid profile (total cholesterol, triglycerides, lipoproteins: (HDL.C, LDL.C, VLDL.C), kidney functions (urea, creatinin, uric acid), liver functions (GOT, GPT, ALP) and glucose. The obtained results concluding that the feeding with all tested seeds improved sexual hormones, lipid profile, kidney functions, liver functions and glucose. According to these results, lettuce and parsley could be used for improving sexual hormones.
