This researchaims to know the effect of Maja Leaf (Aegle Marmelos) extract on ovarian weight and corpus luteum numberof the female white rat. The research design of posttest only control group design with animal tries Hundrednorvegicus female type, aged 8-10 months, weight 200-250g counted 24 tail divided 4 group. After the vaginalsmear is done in the same phase of the proestrus for 12 days, the animals try to be treated with Maja Leaf(Aegle Marmelos) extract.
