ABSTRACT
Effect of hexane extract of Ferula jaeschkeana has been studied on corpora lutea of adult cyclic guinea-pigs. Administration of extract showed duration dependent luteolytic changes in the corpora lutea. Its administration for first three days from the onset of estrus caused significant decrease in the diameter of corpora lutea in the ovary at day 10 of cycle. Ovarian wet weight, proteins and glycogen contents were decreased while the activity of acid phosphatase in the ovary was increased. These luteolytic changes in the ovary have also been observed in the histological findings. Administration of extract for other durations (4-6, 7-9 or 10-12 of cycle) did not cause any change at 10th and 16th day.
