Effect of ethanolic extract of A. catechu on ovarian weight and cholesterol level in rats

Group	Treatment	Dose	Weight of right Ovary (mg)	Cholesterol level in right Ovary (mcg/mg of ovary)
I	Control
	(4% gum acacia)	2 mL	38.00 (36.00, 49.75)	2.98 ± 0.68
II	Ethanolic extract	100 mg/kg 26.50	26.50 (25.25, 27.25)*	5.55 ± 0.59**
III	Ethanolic extract	300 mg/kg	16.00 (13.25, 19.50)*	4.23 ± 0.53
P value	One way ANOVA			0.028
	Kruskal–Wallis H test		<0.001

Values are median (25^th, 75^th percentile) in weight of ovary; In ovarian weight, Bonferroni correction was done, P < 0.025 is considered as significant; Values are mean ± SEM in cholesterol; n = 6 in each group;

^*P = 0.002. vs. control;

^**P = 0.021. vs. control.
