albino rats were taken and divided into 3 groups with 6 rats in each group. One group of animal was administered orally
Cycas circinalis extract (200 mg/kg bodyweight) and compared to the normal control and positive control albino rats given
testosterone 10 µg/kg body weight subcutaneously. Various parameters were compared among the groups and the drug’s efficacy
