Potencial genotóxico del extracto oleoso de la semilla de Carapa guianensis Aublet para inducir anomalías en la morfología de la cabeza del espermatozoide

There were no significant differences in the results between the controls and those treated with the extract regarding frequency of the different sperm head anomalies or in the spermatic concentration and sperms with cytoplasmic drop. However, a difference was found between the controls and treated versus the CP treated group, validating our results. We have concluded that the oleaginous extract of Carapa guianensis seeds does not have genotoxic potentialities to induce an increase in the spontaneous frequency in the sperm head morphology of male Balb/c mice.
