Popis: Abstract Background The primary indication of infertility is the incapacity to conceive, and in females, the majority of instances of female infertility stem from ovulation disorders. This study evaluated the female fertility-enhancing effects and safety of aqueous leaf extract of Brillantaisia patula (ALEBP) in a cyclophosphamide (CYP) model of sterility in Wistar rats. Method Sixty-six female rats randomly allotted to six groups (n = 11) were administered with the appropriate regimen for 21 days and then mated with male rats. Group 1 (control) received distilled water. Groups 2–6 were treated with a single dose (200 mgkg− 1 body weight) of cyclophosphamide intraperitoneally and, in addition, received the same volume (0.5 mL) of distilled water, 18, 36, 72 mgkg− 1 body weight of ALEBP and 200 mg per body weight of vitamin C orally. Mating lasted 11 days; on day 20, the female Wistar rats were sacrificed. Data were analysed using One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) followed by Dunett’s posthoc analysis, and GraphPad (at p
