The aim of this study was to evaluate the reproductive organs on the effect of Simarouba versicolorethanol extract (EEOH-Sv) at a dose of 10mg / kg administered for 60 days / VO. The testes, epididymis,prostate and seminal vesicles were sectioned and placed in vials Boan solution for 24 hours and then preservedin alcohol at 70%. Histopathology of organs were dehydrated in xylol, impregnated and embedded in paraffin.Subsequently cut in the microtome at a thickness of 3 m and subjected to hematoxylin-eosin. The results of thehistopathology of the testis was observed that the EEOH-Sv caused concretions in 100% of animals evaluatedand 20% of the animals showed sharp associated with degeneration of the seminiferous tubules. In theepididymis was observed in 40% epithelial thickening, and there was 100% of benign prostatic hypertrophyassociated in 20% of animals inflammatory infiltrate. Thus, it is concluded that-Sv EEOH was toxic to thisorgans except the seminal vesicle.(AU)
