Abstract

Our objectives were to investigate the effect of female camel urine on abnormal hormonal levels in male rats and to evaluate total protein, globulin, albumin and body weight gain according to administration of female camel urine. Twenty four adult Wistar albino rats were divided into four groups, normal testosterone control, treated control and high and low serum testosterone groups which produced by injection of testosterone Enanthate and Lead Acetate respectively twice a week for 21 days. All groups except the control group (normal) were orally dosed female camel urine (2ml / 100 gram body weight) for another 21 days. Female camel urine regulated the high and low testosterone level to their normal serum level. Testosterone level was significantly increased (P<0.01) in group three after seven days of female camel urine administration. The same time no change was observed on normal testosterone level group. In the 3th week all treated groups showed significant (P<0.01) increase in the testosterone level compared to the previous week. Total protein, globulin and albumin were significantly (P< 0.05) elevated before and after female camel urine treatment.
