| Abstract | ||
| The present study is designed to know the effect of protein deficiency on mice males through study the changes in body and testes weight, clinical histological changes of testes. In addition of study the blood and biochemical parameters. Using 90 males of mice aging 28-30 days. These animals were divided into three groups, each group contains 30 mice, first group (control) was give 18% total protein contains animal protein 7%, while the second group was given 13% total protein contain 3.5% animal protein, and the third group was given 10 % total protein without any animal protein for different periods as follow (15,30,45) days. Results showed significant decrease (p<0.05) in weight body rate of animals in first treatment for periods (30, 45) days and second treatment for periods (15,30,45) days compared with control group , also in the rate of testes weight means in first and second treatment for periods (30,45)days compared with control group. Histological procedures showed that clinical and histological changes in both treatments for periods (30,45)days, while there is no any changes in both first and second treatment in period of ( 15) days. In contrast, the blood parameters showed that the concentration of Hb,PCV significant decrease (p<0.05) in blood of treatment animals which correlated with protein deficiency compared with control group, and the second treatment for (45) days showed the most significant in the parameters compared with the first treatment and for all periods. Biochemical tests obtain a significant decrease (P <0.05) in the total serum protein in the second treatment period (15, 30, 45) days compared with the control group, and found a significant decrease (P <0.05) in the first treatment in the two periods (30, 45) days compared with the control group, while did not score a significant decrease in the first treatment in the first period (15) days, compared with the control group | ||
