“…This element plays an important role in the production and secretion of FSH, LH, and prolactin that eventually regulate testosterone production (Roy et al, 2013). The bio-constituents contained in herbs that are responsible for enhancing sexual activity and spermatogenesis include saponin, alkaloid, flavonoid, ferulic acid, and chlorogenic acid (Chauhan et al, 2014). One of the plants that contain all of these compounds is Moringa oleifera leaves.…”

Moringa oleifera (Moringa) leaves contain high levels of nutrient that can be utilized as a feed supplement to increase libido and semen quality. This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of Moringa leaves supplementation on libido and sperm quality of Bali bulls. This study used two-sample t-test on four Bali bulls were kept under individual pens for two periods of eight weeks. During the first period (control), the experimental Bali bulls were fed concentrates (1% of body weight) and rice straw ad libitum. During the second period, the experimental Bali bulls were fed similar to the first period with an additional of Moringa leaves 15% of the weight of the concentrate (treatments). Libido and sperm quality were measured twice a week. Plasma samples were taken three times a day (06:00, 14:00, and 22:00h) on the last day of each period. Plasma testosterone concentrations were analyzed by using ELISA techniques. Variables measured were compared using paired student's t-test.

“…Despite insufficient medical evidence concerning their efficacy, many herbal products are also used by men worldwide to increase sexual performance and are within the scope of traditional medical understanding [5]. These products are believed to function by increasing the levels of testosterone in the blood and by providing vasodilatation in the vascular structure of the penis [4]. Additionally, ED in men also has a direct effect on the sexual functions of women.…”

“…These drugs are reportedly also used by men who do not have sexual problems but who wish to increase their sexual pleasure and performance [3]. In addition to these medications, many herbal products are used by men worldwide to increase their sexual performance [4]. In Turkey, many drugs and herbal products are used by men to increase their sexual performance regardless of whether they have ED.…”

Anahtar KelimelerErektil Disfonksiyon; Seksüel Performans; İlaçlar; Bitkisel Ürünler Abstract Aim: This study aims to evaluate the views of the adult male population in Turkey concerning the use of drugs (Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors) and herbal products to increase sexual performance, and to assess the use and outcomes of these medications within the study site. Material and Method: This non-interventional, observational, sectional site study was conducted in 2012. Participants were randomly selected from 19 provinces of Turkey according to Eurostat and Nomenclature of territorial units for statistics (NUTS) Level-2 by a proportional sampling method according to postal code lists. Men aged 18 years or older were included in this study as representatives of the male Turkish population. Of these, 410 men using at least one erectile dysfunction (ED) product within the last year were interviewed faceto-face. Results: 98% of participants did not have ED. The rate of drug use for "increasing sexual performance" by those not reporting erection problems was 63%. Among this group of drugs, moderate to high satisfaction rates were observed for sildenafil and herbal products of 85% and 63% respectively. Women's awareness of their partners' drugs use was low at 25%. Satisfaction among women aware of their partners' drug use was 63%. Discussion: The prevalence of drug use, including PDE-5 inhibitors or herbal products, is high among Turkish men, who often do not inform their partners about their drug use. Given the high rate of satisfaction in cases where partners are informed, we believe that the positive psychosocial effects of these medications on partners could contribute to treatment planning.

The Crude Extract and powder of Lepidium sativum Linn. seeds were evaluated for a toxicity effect on 5 th instar larvae of the Trogoderma granarium beetle by vapor and diet incorporation methods, respectively, as well as the repellent indicators of the powder at concentrations of 2, 0.9, 0.5, and 0.1% (w/w); the toxicity assay of essential oil was evaluated at 20, 15, 10, and 5 µl/L air. The results show that a variety of 5 th larvae responses proved the effectiveness, where the essential oil vapors showed a high fumigate toxicity at 28.64 µl/L air, where the LC50 was identified after 72 hours of exposure. Additionally, the powder showed a toxicity effect at the concentrations of 2, 0.9 and 0.5% (w/w), which caused 100 and 96% mortality, respectively, and the LC50 was identified at 0.26% after 10 days of treatment. The exhibited repellent percentages of the powder were weak and at the same time had high acceptance and larval attractivity to the wheat grains treated. The attractive percentage was determined at -53.3% and -66.6% at the lowest and highest applied concentrations of 0.1% and 2% after 72 hours of exposure. The presence of the inverse relationship between the attractive and toxicity properties of the same material (L. sativum seeds) is a promising sign to the safe modeling of toxic baits, which attract and then kill larvae.
