Abstract
The study designed to use high cholesterol diet to male rats(Rattus
norvegicus) and asses the ability of the different concentrations of taurine to protect
the reproduction from the harmful effect of hypercholesterolemia during 4 weeks of
treatment .Thirty six adult male rats were used, randomly divided into six equal
groups (six for each)as control and five treatment groups. Control of animals were fed
on the standard ration. First treated group was supplied with the standard ration in
addition to 1.5% taurine . Second treated group was supplied with standard ration in
addition to 1.5% cholesterol .Third, Fourth and Fifth treated groups were supplied
with standard ration in addition to 1.5% cholesterol and 2,3and 4% taurine /kg ration
respectively and were handled for four weeks. At the end of the experiment the blood
serum samples were collect and FSH, LH, testosterone and estrogen levels were taken
and sperm vitality was recorded in addition to the weight of testis and epididymis
were recorded. The results revealed to the positive role of taurine in protection of
reproductive from the pad effect of hypercholesterolemia in male rats .The taurine led
to increase in Gonadotropin hormones FSH and LH in addition to the testosterone
after it has been reduced due to cholesterol in the ration and as a results to
gonadotropin and testosterone hormone improvement ,the sperm viability was
improved as well after it was decline due to high cholesterol addition in experimental
