Abstract: (709 Views)
Objective: Infertility is a global challenge for couples and may arise from various factors. Studies have highlighted a link between oxidative stress and infertility, emphasizing the role of antioxidants in mitigating reproductive damage. Certain medicinal plants with antioxidant properties have traditionally been used for this purpose. This review focuses on the effects of Pistacia atlantica, Capparis spinosa, Matricaria chamomilla L., and Ferulago angulata, commonly found in Iran’s Zagros Mountains, on the reproductive system. This study systematically reviewed research on the effects of Zagros-native plant species on infertility, analyzing findings from multiple scientific databases using qualitative methods.
Methods: Indexed searches were conducted in Persian and English using the terms ((“Fertility” OR “Reproductive System” OR “Testis” OR “Oocyte” OR “Sexual hormone” OR “LH” OR “FSH” OR “Testosterone” OR “Semen”) AND (“Zagros Mountains” OR “Pistacia atlantica” OR “Baneh” OR “Matricaria chamomilla” OR “Chamomile” OR “Capparis spinosa” OR “Caper” OR “Legji” OR “Ferulago angulata” OR “Chavir”)) from 2000 to 29 December 2024 in PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, SID, and Magiran. Out of 342 initially screened articles, 51 were relevant, and 17 fully matched the inclusion criteria for detailed analysis.
Results: Most studies reviewed indicate positive effects of these plants on infertility-related parameters. However, a limited number of reports describe adverse effects at certain dosages.
Conclusion: Various extracts of these medicinal plants can enhance fertility by promoting healthy gamete production. Careful removal of unnecessary or toxic compounds, adherence to proper extraction methods, and appropriate dosing are essential to minimize potential side effects
