摘要：
The ethanolic extract of the bark of Litsea chinensis and the tuber of Orchis maculata were studied on male sexual behaviour in rats using a battery of tests including penile erection, homosexual mounting, stretching/yawning, aggressive behaviour, copulatory behaviour and orientational activities. The extract of O. maculata (500 mg/kg, p.o.) produced a significant increase in penile erection index, homosexual mounting and facilitated sexual behaviour and orientational activity, as evidenced by increased mounting performance, anogenital sniffing, intromission and ejaculation frequencies. The group of animals given the extract of L. chinensis produced a significant increase in ejaculation latency with a significant decrease in ejaculation frequency. The results indicate that O. maculata extract enhanced sexual arousal in male rats.
