Abstract: Purpose and Methods : The effects of Tripterygiu hypoglaucum(Level) hutch ( THH) on the induction of chromosome abnormalities in human spermatozoa were studied using the human sperm chromosome assay.Results : Result s showed the rates of chromosome aberrations of THH at the doses 50μg/ ml , 100μg/ ml , 200μg/ml were 11. 54 % , 15. 71 % , 16. 79 % respectively , while 7. 25 % in cont rol group. There were significant differences 100μg/ ml group and 200μg/ ml group as compared with cont rol group ( P < 0. 05) . The mean value of chromosome breakages of 100μg/ ml , 200μg/ ml and cont rol groups were 0. 2143 , 0. 2214 and 0. 1346 respectively , the difference was significant ( P < 0. 05) , when the two tested groups compared with the cont rol group.Conclusion : The study result s showed that THH was clastogen in human spermatozoa chromosome aberration test .
