Figure 2

Percentage of preimplantation losses in relation to the total number of corpora lutea in 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. The graph shows the preimplantation losses in uterine horns on the 8th day of pregnancy. Each bar represents the mean ± S.E.M. of the group. *The significance levels in comparison to control group (Chi-square test); **P < 0.01 and *P < 0.05.
