Journal of Urology, volume #55, 2000)
Effects of a Lipidic Extract from Lepidium Meyenii (Lepidium Peruvianum

Chacon) on sexual behavior in Mice and Rats

This study reveals for the first time an aphrodisiac activity of L.

Meyenii, an Andean mountain herb.

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES: To determine the effect of oral administration of

a purified lipidic extract from lepidium meyenii/peruvianum (M-01 M-02)

on the number of complete intromissions and mating in normal mice, and

on the Latent Period of Erection (LPE) in rats with erectile

dysfunction.

METHODS: Mice and rats were randomly divided into several experimental

and control groups. A 10% ethanol suspension of M-01 and M-02 was

orally administered for 22 days to the experimental groups according to

the dosage specified by the experimental design. On day 22, 30 minutes

after the dose was administered to the male mice, 2 virgin female mice

were placed with 1 male mouse. The number of complete intromissions of

each male mouse in 3 hours was recorded. In an assessment of 1 day of

mating, each male mouse was cohabited with 5 estrous female mice

overnight. The number of sperm-positive females was recorded. The LPE

was measured to asses the sexual function in rats with erectile

dysfunction. By using a YSD-4G multifunction instrument, an electric

pulse at 20 V was applied to stimulate the rat`s penis, and the

duration from the start to the stimulus to full erection was measured

in seconds as the LPE.

RESULTS: In the normal male mice, the number of complete intromissions

during the 3-hour period was 16.33 ± 1.78, 46.67 ± 2.39, and 67.01 ±

2.55 for the control group, M-01 group, and M-02 group, respectively.

In the assessment of mating, the number of sperm-positive females

increased from 0.6 ± 0.7 in the control group to 1.5 ± 0.5 in the M-01

experimental group. LPE of male rats with erectile dysfunction was 112

± 13 seconds with a regular diet (control group). The oral

administration of M-01 at a dose of 180 or 1800 mg/kg body weight and

M-02 at a dose of 45, 180, 1800 mg/kg body weight reduced the LPE to 54

± 12 seconds, 54 ± 13 seconds, 71 ± 12 seconds, 73 ± seconds, and 41 ±

13 seconds, respectively. The LPE of the surgical rats treated with

M-01 at the lowest dose (45 mg/kg) was 121 ± 12 seconds; thus, the

change was not significant.

CONCLUSIONS: Oral administration of M-01 and M-02 enhanced the sexual

function of the mice and rats, as evidenced by an increase in the

number of complete intromissions and the number of sperm-positive

females in normal mice, and decrease in the LPE in male rats with

erectile dysfunction.

The hormonal effects of Tribulus terrestris and its role in the

management of male erectile dysfunction – an evaluation using primates,

rabbit and rat Kalamegam Gauthaman_, Adaikan P. Ganesan
Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Yong Loo Lin School of

Medicine, National University of Singapore, 5 Lower Kent Ridge Road,

119074 Singapore

Abstract

Hormonal effects of Tribulus terrestris (TT) were evaluated in

primates, rabbit and rat to identify its usefulness in the management

of erectile dysfunction (ED). TT extract was administered

intravenously, as a bolus dose of 7.5, 15 and 30 mg/kg, in primates for

acute study. Rabbits and normal rats were treated with 2.5, 5 and 10

mg/kg of TT extract orally for 8 weeks, for chronic study. In addition,

castrated rats were treated either with testosterone cypionate (10

mg/kg, subcutaneously; biweekly for 8 weeks) or TT orally (5 mg/kg

daily for 8 weeks). Blood samples were analyzed for testosterone (T),

dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHEAS)

levels using radioimmunoassay. In primates, the increases in T (52%),

DHT (31%) and DHEAS (29%) at 7.5 mg/kg were statistically significant.

In rabbits, both T and DHT were increased compared to control, however,

only the increases in DHT (by 30% and 32% at 5 and 10 mg/kg) were

statistically significant. In castrated rats, increases in T levels by

51% and 25% were observed with T and TT extract respectively that were

statistically significant. TT increases some of the sex hormones,

possibly due to the presence of protodioscin in the extract. TT may be

useful in mild to moderate cases of ED.

Dietary Fats: Which Ones Will Affect Your Diet Plan?

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Matthew_Hell]Matthew Hell

Did you know that most foods contain fat? Being conscious of what kind of fat is being eaten may or may not be beneficial to your health. In our diets, we need healthy fats for natural body processes to occur. But, eating too much bad dietary fat may lead to health problems in the future.

Here is a list of good dietary fats:

• Polyunsaturated - These are mainly found within the plant base food items as well as oils. These fats include Omega-3 which can be found abundantly in nuts, seeds, oils such as corn, safflower, sunflower, cottonseed and soy. Peanut oils are a big contributor also.

• Mono unsaturated - These are found in all sorts of food including oils. Sources say that consuming monounsaturated fats may improve your blood cholesterol levels, which helps to reduce the chance of developing cardiovascular diseases in the future. People who have difficulty controlling their blood sugar and insulin levels may benefit from monounsaturated fats. Lists of foods that contain monounsaturated fats include peanut, olive, canola oils. Seeds and nuts also have monounsaturated fats in them.

Here is a list of bad dietary fats:

• Trans fats- these have been hydrogenated. Try to avoid Trans fats at all costs. The American Heart Association says to limit only one-percent of your total caloric intake per day to Trans fats. Foods that include Trans fats are margarine, processed snack foods, cake frosting, and some cookies.

• Saturated fats- You can think of this fat as the four legged fat. That means that this fat is found in all animals that have four appendages such as beef, deer, elk, and bear ext. The American Heart Association says not to eat more than ten-percent of your daily caloric intake from saturated fats. Foods that contain saturated fats include milk, cheese, bacon, ribs, butter, and lard. Some oils have this fat; they are palm, coconut, and other tropical oils.

• Cholesterol- Your body needs cholesterol for daily function, however, over consuming it will cause harm to your body. The American Heart Association recommends eating less than three hundred milligrams per day. Eating more may induce risk of heart disease. Foods that contain large amounts of cholesterol are meat dishes, eggs, lard, butter and most dairy products

Well, there you have it. Now you know which the good fats are and which the bad fats are.

Try to limit the bad fats to prevent you from obtaining any heart related illness.

Which fats do you eat the most?

Bad Fats, Good Fats, and Fat Loss

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=J_Gwin]J Gwin

Are there really good fats and bad fats? Can good fats actually help you lose fat?

Believe it or not, fats are actually a primary nutrient and serve many important bodily functions:

Primary fuel for light to moderate exercise
Provide the body with essential fatty acids
Provide for the proper function of cell membranes, skin and hormones.
Transport fat soluble vitamins.

So why do fats get such a bad rap in our society?

Well, a couple of types of fat, saturated and trans fat, are associated with increased risk of heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and some types of cancer. These types of fat raise your bad cholesterol level, leaving you more susceptible to heart attacks. Trans fat actually lowers your good cholesterol as well! In fact, trans fat is so bad for you that many cities have taken steps to force restaurants to eliminate trans fat.

But a couple of good fat, specifically monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat, can actually lower your risk of heart disease by lowering your bad cholesterol. They also serve important functions like growth and brain function.

Monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats are found in many oils like extra virgin olive oil and canola oil, as well as safflower oil. They are also found in fatty fish like salmon and trout, as well as avocados and all-natural peanut butter. Additionally, most seeds and nuts contain these fats as well. These serve a primary role in exercise energy and serve to improve overall health by lowering bad cholesterol.

Saturated fats are typically found in fatty meats (highly-marbled meats), butter, mayonnaise, and whole milk dairy products. Trans fat, the devil of nutrition, is found in many fast foods and fried foods, and many snack foods such as chips and cookies. Trans fat is also very prevalent in baked goods such as doughnuts.

The USDA Food Guide recommends 3-6 tablespoons of good fats per day for a 2000-calorie diet. Additionally, if you want to lose fat and stay healthy, you should avoid saturated fat and trans fat as much as you can. To get good fat, try cooking some bell pepper and onion in 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil for a tasty addition to many meals.

High Fiber Foods That Are Also Low in Carbs

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=John_Devon]John Devon

For a healthy body, make sure you are eating enough fiber.

How much fiber should you eat?

According to the USDA Dietary Guidelines for 2010, most Americans consume an average of only 15 grams of dietary fiber per day. Compare that with recommendations of the Institute of Medicine:

Men 50 years old and younger should have at least 38 grams of total fiber a day.
Women 50 years old and younger should have at least 25 grams.
Men 51 years old and older should have at least 30 grams.
Women 51 years and older should have at least 21 grams.

In addition to more fiber, you should be eating fewer refined carbs -- such as those found in processed foods like white bread, white pasta and crackers.

What high-fiber foods are also low in carbs?

This question is something of an oxymoron -- fiber is a carbohydrate; so are unrefined carbs. The question should be re-phrased as, "What high-fiber foods are also low in unrefined carbs?

Remember the foods your mother said were "good for you"? For me they included spinach, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, beets, sauerkraut, walnuts. If you were from the south, perhaps they also included turnip greens, collard greens, beet greens and mustard greens. Well, it turns out that they are good for you -- they have a high dietary fiber content (at least 3% percent by weight) and a high fraction (two-thirds or more) of their total carbs are dietary fiber.

Start your day with a nutritious, high-fiber cereal like All-Bran. A 26-gram serving (1/2 cup) has 13 grams of dietary fiber representing 65% of total carbs and 50% of total weight. All Bran has a 5-star rating for "optimum health" by NutritionData. Or consider corn bran. A 28 gram serving of corn bran has 17 grams of dietary fiber -- comprising 74% of total carbs and 60% of total weight.

Throughout the day eat plenty of fruits and vegetables

There's an element of truth in the old adage, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." Eating an apple with skin gives you plenty of vitamins and minerals. There's 4 grams of dietary fiber in a medium-sized apple, representing 14% of total fiber, 2% of total weight (There's a lot of water and sugar content in an apple.)

If you have never tried avocados, try one. An avocado has 13 grams of dietary fiber representing 76% of total carbs, and 7% of total weight. (It also has water, but not much sugar.)

Can eating more fiber help you lose weight?

The USDA. Dietary Guidelines for 2010 cited studies that found that high-fiber diets were associated with lower body weight and lower waist circumference. A higher fiber diet will satisfy you longer so you end up eating fewer calories. It aids digestion and stool composition. And it reduces your risk of diabetes, colon cancer, obesity and other chronic diseases.

Do you want to lose weight? Have you tried diets in the past that failed you? Are you discouraged because you haven't found success in your weight loss journey? Know that you CAN lose weight. You just need some help.

How To Stay Young And Healthy Forever - Eat Antioxidant And Fiber-Rich Foods

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Adriana_Thomas]Adriana Thomas

There are different ways for staying healthy, and looking young. Among the best methods include eating a healthy diet, getting adequate sleep, regular exercise, and having a happy disposition and mood. Another way for staying healthy and looking young includes eating foods that are rich in antioxidants. Just what exactly are antioxidants?

The Health Benefits of Antioxidants

Antioxidants, according to health experts, are substances or nutrients which help to prevent or slow down oxidative damage to our body. Once the cells in the body utilize oxygen, they often naturally create free radicals, which can damage other healthy cells. Antioxidants often act as hunters of free radicals; therefore they help prevent the damage done by these elements. Diseases like macular degeneration, heart disease, diabetes and cancer are often hastened or brought about by oxidative damage made by these free radicals. According to a recent British health study, serving yourself an average of five servings of antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables daily helps lower the risk of stroke by as much as 25 percent, as well as considerably lower the risk of cancer and other life-threatening infections.

Which Foods Are High In Antioxidants?

Health experts suggest that to stay healthy and look young, you need to eat at least five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables which are rich in vitamins A, C and E, and also contain high levels of antioxidants. Antioxidant-rich fruits include blueberries cranberries and blackberries, while for vegetables beans, russet potatoes and artichoke hearts are antioxidant-rich. Carrots, sweet apples, broccoli, tomatoes, kale, cantaloupe, peaches and apricots, along with nuts like walnuts, hazelnuts and pecans, cinnamon, oregano and ground cloves are also good sources of antioxidants as well.

Tips For Choosing Antioxidant-Rich Foods

When choosing antioxidant-rich foods, remember that there are different types of antioxidants that It would in fact be very helpful if you consume a wide array of antioxidant-rich food items.
One of the best methods for ensuring that you're getting the right amount of antioxidants is to eat as much fresh vegetables and fruits each day. Purchase a good juicer, so you'll be able to drink fresh vegetable juice every day.
Whenever you're washing and preparing fruits and vegetables, make sure you properly wash each item, especially if the fruit or veggie is known to be heavily contaminated with pesticides.
Goji berries and raw chocolate are also rich in antioxidants.

Oxidation, even in metals, leads to the development of rust, and breaks down the surface of metal objects. This is the same effect created by free radicals to our body. Free radicals often attack healthy cells, including protein and fats, which lead to a weakened immune system and paves the way for the entry of a wide array of diseases, and also speed up the aging process. By having a healthy dose of antioxidant-rich foods, cell damage can be reduced or slowed down, and the person will be able to live a normal and healthier life.

Coconut Water Benefits: Healthy Help During Pregnancy

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Janet_Grosshandler]Janet Grosshandler

Coconut water provides many benefits for health-conscious people. Pregnant women especially can drink this pure liquid, which is high in minerals and vitamins and might help alleviate some of the challenges that occur during pregnancy.

Staying hydrated, which means drinking plenty of good fluids, is crucial during pregnancy to keep your body systems flowing. Coconut water is the purest liquid next to water, filled with natural ingredients, low in sugar, and without chemicals or preservatives.

Known as a perfect isotonic liquid, coconut water will mesh with your cells easily, keeping fluid levels up and toxins excreted more efficiently. CW is high in potassium, magnesium, and other minerals, which balances your body into a more alkaline and healthy state.

What else can coconut water do to help your pregnancy be the best it can be?
Weight gain- CW is low in calories and high in nutrients. It beats sweetened fruit juices and empty-calorie soda in keeping weight gain down from junk calories.
Heartburn- Oh, the scourge of pregnant women everywhere! Coconut water soothes your digestive system, neutralizing the acidity with its alkalizing properties.
Nausea and vomiting-In many countries, CW is the antidote to the vomiting that results from malaria, dengue fever, and typhoid. If it works on those serious illnesses, imagine how it can help with "morning sickness."
Urinary tract infections- Coconut water, in its isotonic state, cleanses the systems of your body, flushing toxins out as a natural diuretic. The more you drink, the more toxins will leave your body, which can help prevent UTI's.
Constipation- Drinking small amounts of CW will act as a very mild laxative. Avoiding constipation during pregnancy is definitely something to rejoice about!
Strengthen immune system- Every healthy thing you do for yourself will be relayed to your baby. Coconut water is rich with lauric acid that has anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties. This can help prevent acquiring infections and makes your immune system, and that of your baby, stronger.

Drinking healthful water from coconuts in moderation every day will keep you hydrated, boost those needed electrolytes, and cool you off from those hormones flashes rushing through your body.

Pregnancy is such a wonderful gift and an important job for your body to undertake. Only put healthy, nutritional food and drinks into your body during baby-making time. Your body is working for two so soothe its demands with healthy coconut water.

As always, check with your doctor before starting any new foods and drinks, since every pregnancy is different and may require specific care.

Fatty Acids - Omega 3 Health Benefits

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Mark_J_Kinnear]Mark J Kinnear

We are very lucky to have such wonderful brains. Our brains store the memories of a lifetime for us to recall whenever we like. We can imagine all sorts of amazing things with the sheer power of our imagination. We can perform multiple functions automatically such as breathing, blinking, making our heart beat etc. It is surely the ultimate super computer. It will be some time before man can come anywhere close to mimicking it's complexity using crude silicon chips and transistors.

However, all the fast paced and fancy brain functions that our grey matter performs so effortlessly comes at a price. Our brains require a lot of energy to keep them working at their optimum. There is a lot going on with our brains at a constant rate. Even when we sleep our brain is extremely active. All this activity needs a lot of the good stuff to keep it well oiled and promote good brain health.

So What exactly is the good stuff for brain health?

Basically the good stuff is the right kind of food our brains need. We need lots of glucose to fuel the brain. Glucose comes from the various sugars that we eat. Some sugars are broken down more quickly and transformed into glucose faster than others. But we also need the right kind of fats. Fats make up a large part of our brain, but not trans fats - the kind we get from greasy chips and so on. Trans fats are man made and don't exist in very many other places in nature. The process to create trans fats involves converting liquid fat into a solid which can be used to add bulk to foods and help to increase a foods shelf life. This is bad news for our brains in modern times as we are consuming too many trans fats on a daily basis and this has a negative effect on our brain functions and infrastructure.

So just as we are saturated with information about eating a healthy diet to keep our bodies in optimum condition so we are equally responsible for our brains in the same respect.

It may be a cliché, but it seems that the age old saying of healthy body, healthy mind, rings true in this case. http://hubpages.com/hub/Fatty-Acids-Omega-3 http://hubpages.com/hub/Why-are-we-so-unfit
