Investigations were carried out on epididymal spermatozoa of male mice to study the effects of high dosages (100, 200 and 300 mg kg(-1) bwt) of aqueous Carica papaya seed extract. The results revealed a significant dosedependent suppression of cauda epididymal sperm motility coinciding with a decrease in sperm count and viability. When tested 45 days after the withdrawal of treatment, complete normalcy was restored, proving that the induced effects were transient.
对雄性小鼠的附睾精子进行了研究，以探讨高剂量（100、200和300毫克/千克体重）番木瓜籽水提取物的影响。结果显示，附睾尾部精子活力受到显著的剂量依赖性抑制，同时精子数量和活力下降。在停止治疗45天后进行测试时，完全恢复了正常，证明诱导效应是短暂的。
