  • Title: Effects of Panax Ginseng C.A. Meyer saponins on male fertility.
    Author: Salvati G, Genovesi G, Marcellini L, Paolini P, De Nuccio I, Pepe M, Re M.
    Journal: Panminerva Med; 1996 Dec; 38(4):249-54. PubMed ID: 9063034.
    Abstract:
    Sixty-six patients have been treated with Panax Ginseng C.A. Meyer extract, of whom 30 oligoastenospermic sine causa (group A), 16 oligoastenospermic with idiopathic varicocele (group B). Twenty age-matched volunteers were used as controls (group C). Use of Panax Ginseng extract showed an increase in spermatozoa number/ml and progressive oscillating motility, an increase in plasma total and free testosterone, DHT, FSH and LH levels, but a decrease in mean PRL. It is suggested that ginsenosides may have an effect at different levels of the hypothalamus-pituitary-testis axis.
