Although the high expression of the northeastern herds, the levels of productivity, reproducibility,carcass gain and other factors are low. This is mainly due to the main food source being from native plants ofthe Savanna. Were used male Wistar rats (64) divided into eight groups. These animals were castrated and, afterrecovery, received ethanol extract of pods of Senna spectabilis (EEVSs) in three different doses and testosteroneintramuscularly (some groups). The animals were treated for 32 consecutive days and at the end wereeuthanized. The organs were collected and weighed for evaluation of androgenic and anti-androgenic activity.The extract showed no androgenic nor anti-androgenic activity at the doses tested.(AU)
