Body organ weights, serum, liver lipid profile assessed at end 8 weeks. Results: The results indicated ovariectomy significantly P Conclusions: Germinated seeds showed significant activity, which comparable to Further, improved weights helped reversal histopathological changes suggesting its usefulness
