[The effect of thalicoside on reproductive function in an experiment]

Talicoside, a triterpene glycoside from Thalictrum minus L., given in an oral dose og 1 mg/kg for 5 days was demonstrated to cause ovulation stimulation induced by intravenously injecting 1.2% solution of copper acetate into the rabbits. The agent enterally administered in a dose of 1 mg/kg to rats for 5 days reduced the levels of luteinizing hormone and elevated serum follicle-stimulating hormone in proestrous and estrous.
