Evaluation of sperm concentration, total sperm motility, free testosterone level, FSH and LH of control group and other groups treated with oral administration of sofosbuvir and/or its combination with ribavirin in adult male albino rats.
| G1 (control group) | G2 (Sofosbuvir) | G3 (Sofosbuvir + Ribavirin) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sperm concentration (million/ml) | 182.86 ± 6.8 | 181.86 ± 9.84 | 181.6 ± 10.55 |
| Total sperm motility percent (%) | 78.29 ± 4.15 | 55.29 ± 7.67−a | 57.43 ± 6.02−a |
| Testosterone (pg/ml) | 0.27 ± 0.06 | 0.25 ± 0.09 | 0.36 ± 0.08+b |
| FSH (mIU/ml) | 0.02 ± 0.01 | 0.03 ± 0.02 | 0.03 ± 0.02 |
| LH (mIU/ml) | 0.004 ± 0.002 | 0.003 ± 0.003 | 0.003 ± 0.001 |
