Following reproduction, the number of females and males were counted, the results were analyzed using the Chi-square test. Findings: In this research, the case group and the first group had a larger number of male rats than other groups. But in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th group the number of females in comparison with the number of males were increased. There was a significant difference between these groups and the case group.
