Mimosa pudica Linn. extract improves aphrodisiac performance in diabetes-induced male Wister rats.

Summary

The study showed that the ethanolic extract of L. plant can improve male sexual dysfunction caused by diabetes in rats. It increases testosterone, hormones, antioxidant levels, and reduces oxidative stress. Molecular docking study revealed potential compounds with high binding affinity to PDE5 enzyme, suggesting aphrodisiac effects.

Summation of activation at the branch-stem transition of Mimosa pudica; a comparison with summation in cardiac tissue.

Summary

Mimosa pudica plants and rat heart cells show distinct electrical responses to different stimuli. Cooling affects specific branches, while heat affects the whole plant. Mechanical cutting activates the plant with a time delay, suggesting its role in propagating harmful stimuli.
