Abstract: This research was conducted to assess some male reproductive organs and sperm profile of animal models treat- ed with an aqueous extract of musa acuminata. Thirty male wistar rats were randomly redistributed into three groups of control (animals received water and food only), low dose (animals received water food and aqueous extract of musa acuminate at a low dose of 200mg/kgbw) and high dose (animals received food water and aque- ous extract of musa acuminata at a dose of 400mg/kgBw) respectively. At the end of 21 days of administration period of the extract, animals were sacrificed and the testes and prostate removed for histological tissue pro- cessing.
