Fraksi Etanol 96% Biji Koro Benguk (Mucuna Pruriens L.) Sebagai Peningkat Kualitas Spermatozoa Mencit (Mus Musculus)
Background: The examination of sperm quality is the main priority for infertility diagnosis. Based on previous study with mice, active ingredient of Mucuna pruriens L. or koro benguk (Papilionaceae), the L-dopa, may affect the quality of spermatozoa.
