VI	06.92 ± 0.0	23.51 ± 0.1	16.89 ± 0.0

and represent significant increases at p<0.05 and p<0.001, respectively, when compared to Group I values.
I = 10 ml/kg/day of distilled water.
II = 0.3 mg/kg/day of clomiphene dissolved in distilled water.
III = 100 mg/kg/day of Hunteria umbellata aqueous seed extract dissolved in distilled water.
IV = 200 mg/kg/day of Hunteria umbellata aqueous seed extract dissolved in distilled water.
V = 400 mg/kg/day of Hunteria umbellata aqueous seed extract dissolved in distilled water.
