Abstract

Oral dosing of the Physalis minima L. (Solanaceae) petroleum ether extract to female albino rats altered the regular cyclicity. Rats treated with the extract exhibited variations in uterine and ovarian weights and caused significant histopathological changes in the histoarchitecture of ovary, oviduct and uterus. Extract administration showed inhibitory effects of a transient nature. This is the first report of histopathological observations on a female system after Physalis treatment.
