The Effects Of Eurycoma Longifolia Extract And Eurycomanone On The Steroidogenesis In Mouse Leydig Cells

The Effects Of Eurycoma Longifolia Extract And Eurycomanone On The Steroidogenesis In Mouse Leydig Cells

Eurycoma longifolia Jack (Tongkat Ali) is one of the most popular traditional plants found in the tropical rainforest of Southeast Asia, especially in Malaysia and Indonesia. Although E. longifolia is widely used as traditional medicine, little is understood of the in vitro effect on Leydig cells;...
