Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Fruit Extract The potential reproductive toxicity of an alcoholic extract of Cocos nucifera fruit was tested in two groups of male albino mice (8/group). 38 A negative control group was administered saline; and test groups 1 and 2 were given 125 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg of the alcoholic extract, respectively, of coconut fruit for 15 days. The left and right testis with epididymides were removed and weighed after removing the fat and surrounding tissues. Sperm counts were made from a homogenized solution of saline and caudal epididymides. There was a significant (p < 0.01) increase in relative testicular weight/ body weight in test group 1 compared to the control group. However, test group 2 showed a significant decrease in testis weight/body weight compared to the control group and test group 1. Also, an increase in sperm concentration was noted in male mice administered 125 mg/kg of coconut fruit extract. Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Liquid Endosperm Groups of 5 gravid female albino rats received coconut water starting the day after the rats were mated.39 The animals were dosed for 21 days (entire gestation period) as follows: group 1 (the control group) was given 1.0 ml/100 g of distilled water; group 2 was given 0.5 ml/100 g of coconut water; group 3 received 1.0 ml/100 g coconut water; and group 4 was administered 2.0 ml/100 g coconut water. The rats were weighed on days 1, 7, 14, and 21. Rats underwent laparotomy on day 10 of pregnancy, and upon delivery, the number of litter from each female was counted. An increase in body weight was noted in pregnant female rat of all dose groups compared to the control. No significant differences in the implantation site and number of litter between treated groups and the control group were observed. The reproductive effects of coconut water were studied in male Wistar rats (5/group). 40 The first group was given 20 ml/kg of distilled water and served as the control. Group 2 was orally administered 20 ml/kg of corn oil, group 3 was given 20 ml/kg of coconut water, group 4 was administered 200 mg/kg of danazol (a synthetic androgen), and group 5 was given 200 mg/kg of danazol and 20 ml/kg coconut water. The rats received the test materials daily for 6 weeks. The rats showed a significant (p < 0.05) increase in sperm count, sperm motility, and sperm viability in groups 3 and 5 while a significant reduction in these variables was observed in group 4. A significant increase in luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and testosterone levels were observed in groups 3 and 5 when compared with group 4. All test groups showed a significant increase in reduced glutathione, total protein, and a significant reduction in malondialdehyde in testicular homogenates, when compared with the control and corn oil groups
