Serum levels of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) (a), estradiol (b), and progesterone (c) of female Wistar rats treated orally with HETM (3, 30, and 300 mg/kg) or control (aqueous solution) from the 1st to the 7th day of pregnancy. Blood samples were obtained on the 8th day of pregnancy. Each bar represents the mean ± S.E.M. of the group. *The significance levels in comparison to control groups (one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s test); *P < 0.05.
