Effect of butanolic fraction of maca in sperm count

What is it about?

Maca contains alkaloids, but there are no studies on their biological effects. To isolate the alkaloids, we used the butanol fraction obtained from methanol extract of maca hypocotyls. The results have shown that Antioxidant activity was better in the methanolic fraction than in the aqueous fraction of yellow or black maca and a higher biological effect was observed in methanolic extract and in aqueous extract than in the butanol fraction of maca.
