To study the effects of Polygonum aviculare herbal extract on sperm parameters in mice after electromagnetic field exposure.
24 male mice were divided into four groups: 1) control group, 2) exposure group (3 mT), 3) Polygonum aviculare group (50 mg/kg herbal extract during 2 months) and 4) "Polygonum aviculare plus 3 mT exposure" group.

Animals were divided into the following four groups: i) control group ii) daily treatment with 50 mg/kg Polygonum aviculare extract iii) exposure to EMF iv) daily treatment with 50 mg/kg Polygonum aviculare extract + exposure to EMF

The data showed that the electromagnetic field exposure reduced the sperm motility and that treatment of Polygonum aviculare and electromagnetic field exposure increased the number of sperms with normal morphology compared with the group exposed to electromagnetic fields exposure alone (please see full text link for more details).
