| Summary: | Study examined the impact of treatment adult male rats with sodium nitrate orally ,two doses( 100 and 200 mg/kg of the body weight ) and two short-term (one and two days) as well as long-term ( 30 days ) on sexual behavior of rats which include (the mounting, intermission and ejaculation) and three periods before the treatment (the first period zero).and the second period (days) and the third period (two days) and the fourth period(30 days)after treatment with nitrates .The results indicate that the treatment with sodium nitrate (100 and 200 mg/kg of body weight ) lead to significant improvement (P≤0.05)of each of the mounting , intermission and ejaculation .after the second and third period of treatment when compared with the control group ,while the treatment with sodium nitrate for along time (the fourth period 30 days)lead to significant decreases (P≤0.05) in the characteristic of sexual behavior of mounting ,intermission and ejaculation compared with the control group.
The conclusion of this study indicate that the dose of sodium nitrate (200 mg/kg of the body weight) have higher influence on asexual behavior of the dose (100 mg/kg of the body weight) after short- term treatment .
