OVX = ovariectomized animals that received the vehicle (distilled water); E2V = OVX animals treated with 1 mg/kg of 17β-estradiol valerate; Lannea acida = OVX animals treated with ethanol extract of Lannea acida at doses of 50, 100, 200, and 300 mg/kg BW. WW = wet weight; DW = dried weight. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (); , , and as compared to the OVX group.
