520 _aAflatoxins are one of the natural occurring contaminants of food and feed stuffs. The reproductive system especially in female suffers from lack of studies. The aim of this study is to investigate the deleterious effects of aflatoxins on the female reproduction and on ovarian oogenesis. A total number of eighty mature cyclic female albino rats were used and randomly allocated into one of the four treatment groups: the control group received basal diet containing zero ppb aflatoxins and three aflatoxin treated groups (A, B and C) fed on basal diets containing 250, 500 and 1000 ppb aflatoxins/ kg diet, respectively for 45 days. Results showed delay and elongation of estrous cycle, decreased levels of estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, T3 and T4 hormones; dose dependent histopathological changes in ovaries and uterus, where atrophy and necrosis of ovaries, decrease number of viable ovarian follicles and increased number of inactive corpous luteum. Aflatoxicosis was characterized by induction of apoptosis and DNA fragmentation. In conclusion, this study showed that aflatoxins are severely toxic to female reproductive system. Thus, at the end of females exposure to aflatoxins can bring about deterioration of female reproductive health
