Values presented as Mean $\pm$ SD. One-way ANOVA followed by a Tukey post hoc test were used for comparison of the data between the different groups. *P $<$ 0.05, **P $<$ 0.001 when compared to the control group. LH: Luteinizing hormone, FSH: Follicle stimulating hormone, E2: Estradiol, MDA: Malondyaldehyde assay
