No superscript letter indicates no significant differences in the control, total flavonoids of Epimedium, and human chorionic gonadotropin group (P > 0.05) (n = 3).
1
The control group was treated with phosphate-buffered saline.
2
The total flavonoids of Epimedium group was treated with total flavonoids of Epimedium at the dose of 5 × 10−3 mg/mL.
3
The human chorionic gonadotropin group was treated with human chorionic gonadotropin at the dose of 1 IU/mL.
