This study determined the total protein content of 50 freeze-dried olluco varieties by the semimicro Kjeldahl method and evaluated the variability of the protein profile of these varieties by electrophoresis techniques (SDS-PAGE and ND-PAGE). The results revealed a wide range of protein content: 20% of the varieties showed high content (10.07-11.55 g/100 g dry weight), 62% medium content (7.00-9.98 g/100 g dry weight), and 18% low content (5.60-6.65 g/100 g dry weight). Analysis of protein profile variability revealed a remarkable similarity in the low molecular weight proteins, especially the intense bands close to 14 and 24 kDa. Cluster analysis of protein patterns obtained by SDS-PAGE allowed us to establish genetic distances and phylogenetic relationships between the varieties studied. The variability in the protein content of olluco suggests that the region of origin may influence the nutritional composition of the varieties.

This study investigated the aphrodisiac and androgenic potential of <i>Tribulus cistoides</i> (<i>T. cistoides</i>) in a nicotine-induced model of sexual dysfunction in male Wistar rats. A total of 45 male rats were divided into nine groups (<i>n</i> = 5 per group).

Nicotine exposure impaired sexual behavior, as evidenced by increased mount latency and decreased mount frequency, intromission frequency, and penile licking. However, treatment with the plant extract effectively reversed these effects, restoring the sexual behavior parameters toward normal levels.
