Abstract
Introduction: A high-fat diet and obesity, promoted by an unhealthy lifestyle, affect the structure of spermatozoa. The study aims to determine the effect of using purple eggplant on improving lipid profile and sperm quality as an alternative to traditional medicine of Rattus norvegicus. Methods: This type of research is a laboratory experiment using a posttest with a control group design. Twenty-eight Rattus norvegicus were divided into four groups. The number of spermatozoa was calculated by sucking the sperm stock solution using a hemocytometer suction. Results: The high cholesterol and distilled water (G1), high cholesterol and purple eggplant 100 mg/kg BW (G2), and high cholesterol and purple eggplant 200 mg/kg BW (G3) groups had higher body weight compared to the standard feed and distilled water (G0) group. The G1 group had the highest body weight (136.25±0.901 grams) and cholesterol levels (168.13±1.797 mg/dL). Moreover, G3 group (159.38±1.253 mg/dL) had lower cholesterol levels compared to G2 group (152.25±10.31 mg/dL). The G3 group (35.00x106±0.500) had the highest mean sperm count, followed by G1, G2, and G0 groups (33.25x106± 0.675, 32.75x106±0.366, 31.38x106±0.680, respectively). Conclusion: The purple eggplant extract was able to reduce cholesterol levels and increase sperm count. Keywords: Purple eggplant, body weight, cholesterol levels, sperm count
