This study aims to investigate the impact of the ginger aqueous extract Ginger (Zingiber officinale) on fertility and thyroid hormones in male rabbits. The findings indicate that during daily observations, there were no discernible abnormal signs in behavior and external features, including body fur and feces, in rabbits orally treated with the aqueous extract of Ginger compared to the control group. However, an increase in activity and food intake was noted in rabbits administered with the extract. Administering the aqueous extract of ginger at doses of 100mg/kg and 200mg/kg resulted in a noteworthy rise in serum testosterone levels Compared with the control group, with no significant difference between the two doses. Comparing the experimental group to the control, the administration of ginger aqueous extract at doses of 100 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg resulted in a non-significant decrease in FSH, Thyroxin, Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), and Triiodothyronine. On the other hand, compared to the control group, providing the extract at these levels resulted in a considerable increase in sperm count, with a significant difference seen between 100 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg. Meanwhile, histological sections of treated mature testes (at doses 100mg/kg and 200mg/kg) demonstrated a clear improvement in spermatogenesis and spermatozoa compared to the control group activity.
