The ameliorative role of Eruca sativa on some hormonal profile and testicular histopathology in male albino rats exposed to a sublethal dose of 1 mg/kg body weight (b.wt). Abamectin (Crater 3.37% EC) was evaluated. Eighteen male albino rats were divided into three groups: control group, Abamectin-treated group, and Abamectin + E. sativa-treated group. Rats of the second group were orally administrated 1 mg/kg b.wt. of Abamectin, the third group received a mixture of sublethal oral dose of Abamectin (1 mg/kg b.wt.) and E. sativa suspension (5 g/kg b.wt.) every 48 h for 28 days. At the end of the study, blood samples were collected from all groups to measure some hormonal parameters; also, rats were dissected and tissue sections from the testes were prepared and stained with hematoxylin and eosin for examination under light microscope. The results of the present study revealed a disturbance in the hormonal parameters and some testicular histopathological changes. In addition, administration of E. sativa might have a promising effect against Abamectin toxicity-induced disorders of thyroid hormones and impaired testicular functions, which were correlated with histopathological changes in the testes of male rats.
