K+	112.33±2.68b	120.32±4.02b	105.56±2.48b
ES	84.42±1.68a	71.41±3.20a	93.10±1.25a

Values were expressed as mean±SD, n=4. Healthy pregnant mice were not subjected to E. coli infection (N), pregnant mice infected with E. coli (K+), pregnant mice infected with E. coli and treated with 200 mg/kg of ES (ES), pregnant mice infected with E. coli and treated with combined 150 mg/kg ES and 37.5 mg/kg SA (75% ES:25% SA), 100 mg/kg ES and 75 mg/kg SA (50% ES:50% SA), and 50 mg/kg ES and 112.5 mg/kg SA (25% ES:75% SA) (ESSA1, ESSA2, and ESSA3, respectively), and pregnant mice infected with E. coli and treated with 150 mg/kg SA (SA). Different superscript letters indicate statistical significance in the same column (p<0.05). ES=Elephantopus scaber, SA=Sauropus androgynus, FSH=Follicle-stimulating hormone, LH=Luteinizing hormone, E. coli=Escherichia coli
