“…Therefore, flavonoids in M. oleifera leaf tea may have a role in Sertoli cells, increasing spermatogenesis [40], sperm quality [41] and sexual behavior [39]. In the brain, testosterone metabolizes to estradiol or dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which plays a role in the sensory stimulation from a receptive estrous female and facilitates the appetitive and consummatory sexual behavior [42]. The flavonoids act to provide multisensory stimulation and increase sex drive [42].…”

Moringa oleifera Lam. (M. oleifera) has been called the “miracle tree” due to its attributes for therapy in various diseases. However, M. oleifera studies on the male reproductive system have been limited. The aim of this study was a phytochemical screening and investigation of the effects of M. oleifera leaf tea on sexual behavior, reproductive function and antioxidant activities. Male rats were fed with M. oleifera leaf tea extract at doses of 0.55, 1.10 and 2.20 mg/kg or distilled water for 30 days. The result showed that M. oleifera leaf tea contained rich total phenols and flavonoids. The courtship behavior, seminiferous tubule diameter, epithelium height, epithelium area, type A spermatogonia, and spermatogonia efficiency were significantly increased in all treatment groups. The groups treated with 1.10 and 2.20 mg/kg increased the number of Sertoli cells. The total of spermatogenic cells increased in the group treated with 0.55 mg/kg. M. oleifera leaf tea scavenged DPPH radical, ABTS radical and H2O2, and inhibited LPO and AGEs formation. Due to M. oleifera leaf tea containing rich total phenols, flavonoids, and antioxidants, it could enhance sexual function and the male reproductive system.

“…Systemic treatment or MPOA application of DHT alone is not effective in promoting male copulatory behaviors in castrated male rats (Davidson, 1969). In contrast, treatment of castrated males with E2 alone restores appreciable levels of male sexual behavior, while treatment with E2 and DHT together activate all components of male sexual behavior and are as effective as T (Baum, 2007; Christensen & Clemens, 1974; Feder, Naftolin, & Ryan, 1974). Complementary studies demonstrated that aromatase inhibitors or estrogen receptor antagonists dramatically inhibited male sexual behaviors when given systemically or applied centrally (Beyer, Morali, Naftolin, Larsson, & Perez-Palacios, 1976; Bonsall, Clancy, & Michael, 1992; Christensen & Clemens, 1975; Clancy, Zumpe, & Michael, 1995; Luttge, 1975; Roselli, Cross, Poonyagariyagorn, & Stadelman, 2003; Vagell & McGinnis, 1997).…”

Rapid effects of 17β-estradiol on male copulatory behaviors are not elicited by the novel membrane active estrogenic compound STX.

Estrogens have been shown to rapidly promote male copulatory behaviors with a time-course that suggests rapid signaling events are involved. The present study tested the hypothesis that estrogen acts through a novel Gq protein-coupled membrane estrogen receptor (ER). Thus, either estradiol (E2), STX (a diphenylacrylamide compound that selectively activates a membrane ER pathway), or vehicle were administered acutely to castrated male rats that bore sc dihydrotestosterone implants to maintain genital sensitivity. Appetitive (level changes, genital investigation) and consummatory (mounts, intromissions, ejaculations) components of male sexual behavior were measured in a bilevel testing apparatus. Testing showed that E2 treatment promoted olfactory and mounting behaviors, but had no effect on motivation as measured by anticipatory level changes. STX treatment showed no effect on either component of male sexual behavior. These results support previous results that showed that E2 can rapidly affect male sexual behaviors, but fail to support a role for the specific membrane-initiated pathway activated by STX.
