Kelor (Moringa oleifera Lam.) banyak digunakan sebagai obat tradisional dan sumber nutrisi yang baik. Penelitian daun kelor tentang fertilitas telah pernah dilakukan, namun adanya perbedaan hasil menjadi hal yang menarik untuk diteliti lebih lanjut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk  mengetahui efek ekstrak etanol 90% daun kelor (EEDK) terhadap fertilitas dengan parameter spermatogenesis dan afrodisiak pada tikus putih jantan (Sprague-Dawley). Tikus putih jantan dibagi secara acak menjadi kelompok normal (NaCMC 0,5%), kelompok uji (EEDK dosis 50, 200 dan 800 mg/kgBB). Pemberian EEDK diberikan secara oral selama 15 hari. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa EEDK dapat meningkatkan serum testosteron namun tidak bermakna (p>0,05), masih dalam konsentrasi normal (0,66-0,54 µg/ml).  Konsentrasi spermatozoa meningkat secara bermakna (p<0,05) pada dosis 800mg/kgBB,  namun diameter tubulus seminiferus  dan bobot testis tidak berbeda bermakna (p>0,05) pada semua dosis kelompok uji. Pemberian EEDK tidak mempengaruhi efek mounting frequency dan latency serta intromission latency dan frequency pada tikus jantan secara bermakna (p>0,05). Berdasarkan hasil tersebut, dapat disimpulkan bahwa pemberian EEDK pada tikus putih jantan (Sprague-Dawley) selama 15 hari memiliki potensi terhadap efek spermatogenesis dibandingkan dengan efek afrodisiak

Moringa oleifera Lam., commonly found tree in sub-Himalayan tracts of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan has a high nutrition value. The leaves, flowers and immature pods of Moringa are used as a vegetable in many countries. The leaves are highly nutritious and medicinal in nature. They are a rich source of iron, calcium, vitamin A, vitamin C, proteins, and essential amino acids. Hence Moringa leaves can be a good source of protein for the vegetarians and the under-nourished population. Present investigation deals with the study of monthly variation in the nutritional value of Moringa leaves from the month of June 2015 to January 2016. Impact of urban sewage pollution and roadside vehicular pollution on the amount of reducing and total sugars, chlorophylls (a, b and total), proteins, vitamin-C and pH of the leaves, was also studied. Results revealed that the highest amounts of reducing sugars, total sugars, chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll during October 2015 whereas proteins, chlorophyll a, vitamin C and pH were highest during January 2016. Leaf samples collected from all the study sites exhibited minimum amounts of reducing sugars, chlorophylls (a, b and total) and pH during July 2015 whereas total sugars were lowest during December 2015. Proteins and vitamin C values were lowest during August and June 2015 respectively. Sewage and vehicular pollution showed an adverse effect on the nutritional contents of Moringa oleifera leaves. Of the two polluted sites, samples from near the sewage flow showed higher impact.
