Pasak bumi as a rare plant with eroded status is benefit as aphrodisiac for Borneo men. This study investigate the effect of pasak bumi (Eurycoma longifolia) on spermatozoon cell stages development. The research was conducted by giving pasak bumi steeping doses of 18 mg/200 g (=90 mg/kg) of bodyweight (bw) for three days to 15 white male rats as the experiment group, and 15 white male rats also given with distilled water as the control group.
