Male albino rats were divided into four groups of six animals each: control group 1 (2% acacia solution), PT\u2010treated group 2 (50\u2009mg\/Kg), PT\u2010treated group 3 (100\u2009mg\/Kg), and PT\u2010treated group 4 (150\u2009mg\/Kg). Sexual behavior of male rats in the presence of a female rat was recorded. The treated groups were evaluated for sexual parameters. The extract was characterized using LC\u2010MS. The effect of treatment on anabolic and weight of secondary sexual organs was determined. The histological changes in section of testis and epididymis after treatment were observed. Sperm count in epididymis and fructose content in seminal vesicles were also measured. Levels of hormones like FSH, LH, and T were determined. A dose\u2010dependent increase in sexual behaviors was evidenced in the animals of extract treated groups. Increase in testis weight was recorded in PT. At the highest dose PT also affects the hormones level. The four compounds namely puerarin, daidzein, biochanin\u2010A and formononetin were identified in ethanolic extract using LC\u2010MS. It concluded that PT extract possesses androgenic effect and it significantly increased the sexual behaviour and hormones level.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2013\/780659","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,12,30]],"date-time":"2013-12-30T21:01:39Z","timestamp":1388437299000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["<i>Pueraria tuberosa<\/i> DC Extract Improves Androgenesis and Sexual Behavior via FSH LH Cascade"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2013","author":[{"given":"Nagendra Singh","family":"Chauhan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vikas","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8772-4698","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mayank","family":"Thakur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexandra","family":"Christine Helena Frankland Sawaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"V.
