The effect of Palestinian honey on spermatogenesis was studied in male albino rats (12 rats/group) after 20 days of treatment. 46 Group A was given a 5% solution of Palestinian honey in drinking water, group B was treated with 5% sucrose in drinking water, and group C served as the control group and was given untreated drinking water. No significant effects on total body weight or weights of the testis, seminal vesicles, spleen, kidneys, liver, heart, or brain were noted. Rats treated with Palestinian honey displayed a significant increase in epididymal sperm count by 37% (P ≤ 0.05). The activity of testicular marker enzymes for spermatogenesis such as sorbitol dehydrogenase was increased by 31%, and lactate dehydrogenase was reduced by 48%, indicating an induction of spermatogenesis. A study was performed in order to examine the effect of honey on the reproductive system of male rat offspring.47 Dams were divided into 10 rats/group. The control group received no treatment while treated animals were given honey (0.2 g/kg bw), daily, from day 1 of pregnancy to day 10, via gavage. When the male offspring reached 10 weeks old, these rats were mated with regular estrous cycle females and evaluated. Testosterone levels were significantly lower in the treated group compared to the control group. Sperm counts, follicle stimulating hormone levels, and testes/epididymis weights were similar in control and honey-treated groups. The percentage of abnormal sperm was significantly higher in animals treated with honey compared to the control group.
