SUMMARY On the basis of a Tibetan prescription recipe, a complex natural remedy “adaptofit-28” has been developed. It was found that the specified agent, when administered repeatedly to white rats, stimulates the sexual activity of male rats, which is due to an increase in testosterone levels. The
most pronounced aphrodatic effect of the agent was found in relation to old male rats. Using the “pharmacological castration” method, it was shown that “adaptofit-28” activates the process of testosterone restoration to 5α-dihydrosterone, increases the sensitivity of androgen receptors, and
also has an antiestrogenic effect.
Key words: Tibetan medicine, adaptogens, sexual activity of male rats.
