Abstract :
The objective of this research was to know the effect of β-sitosterol on testosterone level recovery. This research used 36 adult male mice (Mus musculus) strain BALB-C that had low total testosterone level. Testoterone level was decreased by ethynilestradiol (EE2) pretreatment 70.0 µg/kg bw/day for 9 days. After that, pretreatment was stopped for 18 mice (group without EE2), and still given for the other (group with EE2). Each group was divided into 2 subgroups. It was administered by β-sitosterol 8.1 µg/kg bw/day (Ps) and control without β-sitosterol (Po). Further, each subgroup was divided into sub-subgroups that were administered treatment for 9, 18 and 27 days. The level of serum total testosterone level was measured by radioimmunoassay. The result of this research revealed that β-sitosterol shortened the recovery time of testosterone level, but it depended on testosterone level that would be recovered
