In the present study, the aphrodisiac properties of the purple corn ( Zea mays) in male rats were analyzed. The aqueous crude extract of purple corn (at 25, 50, and 75 mg/kg) was administered to ( a) copulating male rats and ( b) anesthetized and spinal cord transected male rats. Behavioral parameters of copulatory behavior and parameters of the genital motor pattern of ejaculation previous to its inhibition, under the influence of the purple corn extract, are described. Administration of the aqueous crude extract of purple corn significantly facilitates the arousal and execution of male rat sexual behavior without significant influences on the ambulatory behavior. In addition, purple corn extract elicit a significant increase in the number of discharges of the ejaculatory motor patterns and in the total number of genital motor patterns evoked in spinal rats. The present findings show that the aqueous crude extract of purple corn possesses aphrodisiac activity.
在本研究中，分析了紫玉米（玉米）对雄性大鼠的壮阳特性。将紫玉米水粗提物（25、50和75mg/kg）给予（a）正在交配的雄性大鼠和（b）麻醉且脊髓横断的雄性大鼠。描述了在紫玉米提取物影响下，交配行为的行为参数以及射精前生殖运动模式的参数，直至其受到抑制。给予紫玉米水粗提物显著促进了雄性大鼠性行为的唤起和执行，而对其行走行为无显著影响。此外，紫玉米提取物使脊髓大鼠射精运动模式的放电次数和诱发的生殖运动模式总数显著增加。目前的研究结果表明，紫玉米水粗提物具有壮阳活性。
