Abstract

Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) extract powder (rich in rutin and fructose-leucine) increased total and free testosterone and sperm motility in an aged rat model of testosterone-deficiency syndrome by upregulating testosterone-synthesis enzymes and reducing degradation enzymes, suggesting use as a functional ingredient for testosterone deficiency.
