Sperm motility (%)	Group A	Group B	Group C	P-value
Actively motile	87.67 $\pm$ 1.45	50.00 $\pm$ 5.77	46.67 $\pm$ 0.33	- 0.005* 0.003*
Sluggishly motile	10.00 $\pm$ 1.15	40.00 $\pm$ 5.77	26.67 $\pm$ 3.33	- 0.002* 0.023*
Non-motile	2.33 $\pm$ 0.33	10.00 $\pm$ 0.00	26.67 $\pm$ 12.01	0.113
Sperm count (x10${}^6$)	18.37 $\pm$ 2.65	12.43 $\pm$ 1.14	7.50 $\pm$ 1.39	- 0.064 0.006*
Sperm morphology (%)	83.33 $\pm$ 1.67	86.00 $\pm$ 1.00	81.67 $\pm$ 3.33	0.434
Data presented as Mean $\pm$ SEM. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by post-hoc Fisher's LSD multiple comparisons. *Significant at p $<$ 0.05. MEPO: Methanolic extract of Portulaca oleracea. Group A: Control (only distilled water), group B: Received 400 mg/kg of MEPO, group C: Received 800 mg/kg of MEPO
