Eight male and thirty-two female white albino rats were divided into eight groups (Each group had five rats, one male and four female(  their powdered blends were given to the main diet. Seven groups were injected with alloxan (150 mg/kg) to induce diabetes. Samples were tested for biochemical markers 28 days after the experiment finished, lipid, glucose, liver and kidney functions, were determined. Hormones (LH, FSH, and Testosterone) were measured. By counting the number of viable females after mating, counting the number of pregnant females, and counting the number of offspring, it was possible to determine the impact of onion and its peel powder on the fertility of male diabetes-induced rats. The study found that onion and its peels powder significantly improves health and fertility indiabetes- induced infertility. Group 8 with the highest 5% mixture had the highest levels of LH, FSH andTestosterone as well as the best lipid profile, kidney and liver functions.
