Objective:To investigate the antifertility properties ofCentella asiatica L. ethanolic extract and identify the sperm proteomic changes in treated male rats.Methods: A total of 32 male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into two groups: control group (n=16) received distilled water and treatment group (n=16) which received 300 mg/kg ofCentella asiatica L. extract for 42 d. After the treatment period, the number of implantation sites was recorded and the sperm proteomic changes were analysed by 2D gel electrophoresis. In addition, the expression of protein spots was quantified by MALDI-TOF analysis.Results:Centella asiatica L. extract resulted in low number of implantation sites in the treatment group (100.00±2.82) compared to the control group (183.00±2.14). The percentage of infertile male rats in the treatment group was higher (43.75%) compared to the control group (18.75%). Proteomic analysis showed the expression of protein spots identified in the treatment group decreased with 234 spots compared to the control group with 282 spots.Conclusions:The results revealed that there was antifertility activity in the male rats with the administration ofCentella asiatica L. ethanol extract and the identified proteins could provide understanding on the adverse effect ofCentella asiaticain male reproductive system.
