Photomicrographs of the representative ovarian cross-section at different magnification from all experimental groups. NC group displaying normal histological appearance with corpus luteum (CL) and several healthy follicles (HF). Ovarian cross-sections from the PC group showing many cystic follicles (*) with lesser CL and HF. PCC group showing reduced cystic follicles (*) with abundant CL and HF. PFD250 group was associated with fewer cystic follicles (*) and the presence of HF and CL. PFD500 and PFD1000 groups showing vast improvement in the histological structure by the absence of cystic follicles (*) and many HF and CL which were almost comparable with the NC group. The cross-sections were stained with heamatoxylin-eosin (H&E) with 4X and 40X magnification. NC: normal control; PC: letrozole-induced PCOS control; PCC: clomiphene citrate; PFD250: 250 mg/kg/day of F. deltoidea; PFD500: 500 mg/kg/day of F. deltoidea, and PFD1000: 1000 mg/kg/day of F. deltoidea
