Journal ArticleDOI
Aphrodisiac properties of Tribulus terrestris extract (Protodioscin) in normal and castrated rats
TL;DR: It is concluded that TT extract appears to possess aphrodisiac activity probably due to androgen increasing property of TT (observed in an earlier study on primates).
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: To compare the efficacy of oral and vaginal administration of misoprostol after a single oral dose of 200 mg of mifepristone and to investigate whether the efficacy can be improved and the duration of bleeding shortened by continuing oral misopostol for one week.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sexual effects of puncturevine (Tribulus terrestris) extract (protodioscin): an evaluation using a rat model.
TL;DR: The increase in ICP which confirms the proerectile aphrodisiac property of TT could possibly be the result of an increase in androgen and subsequent release of nitric oxide from the nerve endings innervating the corpus cavernosum.
Journal Article
Proerectile pharmacological effects of Tribulus terrestris extract on the rabbit corpus cavernosum.
TL;DR: The relaxant responses to acetylcholine, nitroglycerin and EFS and the lack of such effect on the contractile response to noradrenaline and histamine indicate that PTN has a proerectile activity, which may account for its claims as an aphrodisiac.
Journal ArticleDOI
