The present study showed significant differences (P≤0.05) in body weight for both groups as
compared to control group, also significant differences (P≤0.05) in ovary and uterus only in the
group treated with high dose as compared to control group. However significant differences
(P≤0.05) found in reproductive hormone (FSH, LH) for both groups treated with Salvia officinalis
