Introduction: Pumpkin seed has been used in traditional medicine as a drug for improving sexual function and vigor. We did not find sufficient scientific evidence to support it. The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of hydroalcoholic extract of pumpkin seeds on hormone-pituitary-ovarian axis and oogenesis in immature rats. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, we used 30 immature female Wistar rats (weight range 100 to 80 g and 35-30 days old) were randomly selected…

Effect of Pumpkin Seed (Cucurbita pepo L.) Diets on Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): Chemical and Morphometric Evaluation in Rats
TLDR
Results indicate that pumpkin seeds can alleviate the signs of BPH such as decrease of PBP levels, weight of ventral prostate size, improve histology of testis that may be beneficial in the management of mild stage of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Biological study on the effect of pumpkin seeds and zinc on reproductive potential of male rats
TLDR
The administration of pumpkin seeds and zinc can lower the side effects of a lead testicular toxicant and improve the healthy status of testis with increase of reproductive potential.
