Prosexual Effect of Chrysactinia mexicana A. Gray (Asteraceae), False Damiana, in a Model of Male Sexual Behavior

Figure 2

Effect of an aqueous extract of C. mexicana (Cm), T. diffusa (Td), or yohimbine (Yoh) on the number of intromissions (a), ejaculation latency (b), and postejaculatory interval (c) of sexually exhausted males that showed sexual behavior. Data of IPE were compared against an arbitrary value corresponding to the total time for a sexual behavior test. Results are expressed as mean S.E.M. Paired comparisons in groups treated with Cm were done with Dunn’s test. Other comparisons were done with the Mann Whitney U test: in (a) versus vehicle (Veh), versus Cm 320 mg/kg; in (b) versus Veh, versus Cm 320 mg/kg; in (c) versus Veh.
