Study of some Cytogenetic effect of licorice extracts (Glycyrrhiza glabra) on blood lymphocytes of Awassi ewes and embryos

Abstract

The effect of licorice extract [Glycyrrhiza glabra] on somatic cells chromosomes from 30 Awassi ewes (local breed) before and after pregnancy to improve soil fertility through the use of chromosome analysis of lymph blood cells and on their embryos from amniotic cells chromosome which drain by laparotomy of the maternal and fetal. That is the aim of this study. The blood taken from ewes treatment [0.5ml] for each sample incubate in media Tc-199 with Brdu for 72 hours worked in Cytogenetic analysis of the models Rd cells of embryos derived from the total ewes experience a way to open the abdomen of the pregnant ewes )12-13( weeks to demonstrate the effects of licorice extract chromosomes in blood lymphatic cells of mothers and fetuses after treatment. Cytogenetic analysis revealed that licorice extract could not induce numerical nor structural abnormalities in chromosomes from ewes blood lymphocytes, after treatment or on their embryos from amniotic cells chromosomes which drain by laparotomy under their experimental designs.
