Abstract :

The effect of aqueous seed extract of Abrus precatorius on reproduction was studied in male albino mice. The study was divided into three groups of six animals each. The first group (I) received distilled water and served as control. The second and third group (II & III) of animals were administered the aqueous seed extract daily at 250mg/kg body weight and 300mg/kg body weight respectively for 30 days.
