The effect of Chamomile, Urtica, Chamomile& Urtica on estrous cycle in experimental groups. Data show the most represented phase of the estrous cycle in each group. Sham group: mice were receiving 0.1 ml of sesame oil; PCOS group: mice with DHEA-induced PCOS; Chamomile group: receiving Chamomile extract at a concentration of 500 mg/kg; Urtica group: receiving Urtica extract at a concentration of 250 mg/kg; Chamomile + Urtica group: receiving Chamomile extract at a concentration of 500 mg/kg + Urtica extract at a concentration of 250 mg/kg. Vaginal smears of experimental groups showing diestrous stage (A), proestrus (B), estrous stage (C), and metestrus (D) were observed (trypan blue stain, X40). P = Proestrus, E = Estrous, M = Metestrus, and D = Diestrous.
