Even many medical properties have been reported forreduction of blood glucose [6] and inhabitation of plateletaggregation [10]. In general, many physiological processesof hyperglycemia produce "oxygen-center" free radicals and other reactive oxygen species [12]. These reactive oxygenspecies can easily crush the effect of protective enzymes Kits of glucose oxidase peroxidase diagnostic (antioxidant defense) and can cause high damage and even enzyme and streptozotocin have been obtained from Sigma lethal cellular defects if membrane lipids, cellular proteins (USA, MO St. louis). Glimepiride tablets (amaryl), obtained DNA and enzymes will be oxides [13]. As it is well known, from local pharmacies, have been ground to fine powder the damage of nuclear component (or any part of its host) which dissolved in pure distilled-water. For continuous leads to diabetes mediated stress [14]. Consequently, the thirty days, it has been orally administrated at 0.03 mg / physical defects of cells will be stimulated to cause different kg.b.wt. This last value is equivalent to an acceptable dose singes of neurological deficiencies, carcinogenesis aging, for human (4 mg / kg) [8]. Here, standard treatment with heart disorders, and so on, while the germinal cell damage glimepiride tablets has been used for comparison with will yield infertility [14, 15]. In addition, chromosomes aberrations, DNA damages and sperm abnormalities are themain signs in hyperglaycemic rates [14- 17]. Natural and artificial antioxidant agents stimulate the different oxidationprocesses due to hyperglycemia. However, the use of For 24 hours, the experimental animals have been artificial antioxidant results in potential risk, for example fasted, then injected with 65 mg / kg bodu (single dose) of laws of some countries prohibits their use [13, 18]. Thus, freshly prepared streptozotocin (dissolved in citrate buffer medical plants such as mushroom are considered as safer PH4.5) to create diabetes [24]. The blood samples have been antioxidants [11, 19, and 20]. Mushrooms, from these collected via retro-orbital venous plexus and serum glucose medical plants, strongly reduce the platelet aggregation [10], level have been estimated (just prior to killing the animals at reduce the blood-cholesterol concentrations [21] and prevent the end of the experiment) by enzymatic glucose oxidase induced liver per oxidation [22, 23]. Several researches have per-oxidase (GOD PAP) diagnostic kit [14, 25], the diabetes shown the medical importance of mushroom, however, no has been confirmed after 48 hours. The animals have been much information are concerning to their anti hyper- fasted for three hours then blood has been collected from glycemic agent. Thus, the aim of this work is to study the different effects of mushroom on streptozotocin-induceddiabetic rats. In particular, chromosome aberrations, sperm abnormalities and DNA damage are closely studied.
25 male rats have been selected at random then divided into 5 groups each one has 5 experimental animals: 2. Methodology,

Moreover, the present therapy of diabetic mellitus, J Ethnopharmacol,(92), 2004, experimental data show that streptozotocin-diabetic rats have higher rates of DNA fragmentation compared to un-diabetic rats.

In addition, the data of the present study (using ISSR PCR analysis) show that some unexplored potential, Int J Med Mushrooms, (3), 2001, 333- fragments of bp have disappeared in streptozotocin diabetic rats even they have been present in control group.
