Abstract

The aim of this research was to analyze the effect of kebar grass on the seminiferous tubules diameter and epithelium thickness of mice exposed to 2,3,7,8 tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). Twenty five BALB/C mice were used with five treatments (4 mice each group): Negative Control (C-), Positive Control (C+) with TCDD 7μg/kgBW IP, and treatment groups that treated with TCDD 7μg/kgBW IP and Kebar Grass orally for 53 days were presented T1 0,045mg/gBW/day, T2 0,080mg/gBW/day, and T3 0,135mg/gBW/day. Results showed that TCDD decreased the diameter and epithelium thickness of seminiferous tubules, while kebar grass extract was proven to maintain diameters but could not maintain epithelium thickness of of the seminiferous tubules Keywords : Kebar grass, Seminiferous tubule, Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), Mice
