VI	0.76 ± 0.0	148.10 ± 0.6	230.60 ± 1.7

and represent significant increases at p<0.05, p<0.01, 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.
VI = 20 mg/kg/day of Vitamin C dissolved in distilled water.
