Pages

  0-0

Abstract

 Introduction: Thyme is a plant in Labiata family which different species of this herb affects the menstrual cycle and therefore is avoided in high doses especially during the gestational period. The aim of this study was assessing the effect of thyme Decoction consumption in 2nd gestational week on PLACENTA and fetus in rats.Materials and Methods: In this experimental study 10 pregnant Wistar rats weighting between 250-300 gr were randomly divided into 2 equal groups. Breeding of animals were done and the day on which a vaginal plug appeared was considered as the 1st day of gestation. The pregnant rats were acclimatized and fed in the same conditions during the gestational period. Animals in control group received tape water but the animals in test group received thyme Decoction in 2nd week of gestation. All animals were anesthetized and the fetuses were extracted through a cesarean section on 20th day of PREGNANCY. The uterus was excised, the PLACENTA was removed and weighed, the number and placement of implantation sites, the number of live, dead or reabsorbed fetuses were recorded in each animal. All fetuses were weighed and stereo microscopically examined for any morphological abnormalities in limbs, vertebral column, or head. Fetal height, fetal biparietal and PLACENTAl diameters were also precisely measured.Results: There were no significant differences in the number of live fetuses, between the test and control groups. No dead or reabsorbed fetuses and no morphological abnormalities were observed in live fetuses. The live fetuses in both groups showed the same weight, height and biparietal diameter but the length of tail in test group was longer than control group (p<0.05). The PLACENTAl weight was approximately identical in tow groups but its diameter in test group was smaller than the control group (p<0.05).Conclusion: according to our findings, although the thyme Decoction consumption in 2nd gestational week did not lead to any ABORTION or significant fetal anomaly, due to its adverse effect on tail length and PLACENTAl diameter, it is recommended that the thyme consumption be with precaution especially during the PREGNANCY.
