Abstract

Aegle marmelos leaf extract induce the anodic protein concentration in semen of treated group of mice which increased highly significantly (P<0.001) than the control. However, cathodic protein concentration increased insignificantly than the control. Due to increase in anodic protein concentration, total electrophoretic protein concentration of treated group of mice also increased highly significantly (p<0.001) after 10 to 50 days of treatment than the control. Aqueous leaf extract of Aegle marmelos selectively modulate seminal proteins. Significant increase in anodic protein concentration in semen of Aegle marmelos treated mice may add more negative charges on sperm surface membrane which affect capacitation and fertilizing ability of spermatozoa that may cause infertility among treated group of mice.
