Activity Title	Alcoholic bitters modulates sex hormones and some biochemical parameters of testicular function in male Wistar rats
Details	Infertility describes prolonged difficulty at achieving success with conception between a male and female having unhindered access to sexual activity. A male’s inability to fertilize the female’s ovum for upwards of twelve months of unrestricted intercourse categorizes him as infertile. This challenge is represented globally across continents where up to about fifteen percent of heterosexual couples are infertile and forty percent of these represents male factor infertility and sexual inadequacies. For centuries, plants and plant-based products have been utilized as an important and safe natural source of medicines for treating different health challenges. Bitters are liquid preparations (regularly alcoholic) produced from herb and root concentrates of tropical and subtropical plants. This study therefore was aimed to study the effects of these alcoholic bitters on some testicular indices in order to justify its traditionally acclaimed use as an aphrodisiac and pro-fertility agent. Objectives Course Objective Alcoholic bitters have been acclaimed to boost sexual function and fertility in animals but there is no reported scientific evidence that evaluated its effects on the normal functioning of the testes. This study was therefore conducted to assess the effect of some alcoholic bitters on testicular function indices of male Wistar rats.. A total of 25 male Wistar rats were assigned into five groups of five animals each and treated with distilled water, ethanol, Alomo, Striker and Orijin Alcoholic Bitters at 0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 0.16 and 0.3 ml/kg body weight respectively for 28 days.
