Влияние адаптогенов или рационов, содержащих икру морских ежей, на половое поведение самцов крыс

Influence of rations containing gonads of industrial sea urchin species S. intermedius, S. nudus, S. droebachiensis, S. pallius on sexual behavior of pubertal male rats have been studied in etologic experiments, performed with Jan Bures et al. method (1991). Frozen or lyophilized gonads at 0,4 g/kg/24h stimulated pair sexual behavior of males with an then tic increase of all the components like sniffing, licking, covering and ejaculation. Final results were compatible with pantocrin (deer antler extract) and significantly exceeded afrodiatical activity of ginseng root tincture and tentex forte. Addition of sea urchin gonads in the fodder for castrated male rats prevented atrophic changes in prostate and seminal vesicles which let us suppose a connection of biologic activity with presence of chemical substances similar to androgens.
