Table 1

Effect of aqueous extract of Massularia acuminata stem for 5 days on computed male rat sexual behaviour parameters.

Parameters	Extract (mg/kg body weight)
	Control	250	500	1000
Index of Libido (%)	60	80	100	100
% Mounted	60	100	100	100
% Intromitted	20	60	80	100
% Ejaculated	10	40	40	60
Copulatory efficiency (%)	52.89	60.85	61.54	62.50
Intercopulatory interval (sec)	720.00 ± 36.00(a)	590.00 ± 20.00(b)	106.00 ± 15.00(c)	72.00 ± 6.00(d)

Values are means of five replicates ± SD; superscripts, b, c, and d, different from the control, a, for the intercopulatory interval are significantly different (𝑃<.05).
