Abstract
The effects of five antiinflammatory plant extracts on ovoimplantation was investigated in albino rats. Rats treated with plant extracts fro m days 4 to 6 (periimplantation) of pregnancy showed either a total ab sence (20%-40%) or a considerably reduced number of implantations in u tero. The observation suggests that the use of antiinflammatory plant extracts during the periimplantation period impairs fertility probably by reducing the vascular permeability which is an obligate accompanim ent of normal implantation.
