The rats were sacrificed 24 hours after the last day of 60 days of treatment. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Sperm indices, testosterone, FSH, LH, and HDL showed significant increase (p ≤ 0.05) across the treatment groups compared to normal control. Similarly, there was a significant increase in activity (p ≤ 0.05) of ALP, ACP, SOD, and CAT across the treatment groups compared to normal control. In addition, there were significant increases in GSH, MDA, triglyceride, cholesterol, total protein concentration levels across the treatment groups compared to normal control. The n-butanol soluble portion showed normal histomorphology with typical seminiferous tubule with spermatogonia lying on the basement membrane. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Testicular integrity and improved sperm quality were pronounced in rats administered n-butanol solvent portion.&lt;/p&gt;

Treatment was given every day for 15 days. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The results revealed that all treatments affected reproductive hormone and uterine histology profile. However, T1 produced the highest estrogen and progesterone levels, and T2 produced the highest endometrial and myometrium thickness, as well as the number of endometrial glands. Furthermore, the hormonal profile in T1 and histological profile of uterus in T2 were not significantly different from those of T7 group. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Combined A. sativum, C. mangga, &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt;A. calamus&lt;/em&gt; extracts could be used to increase fertility in female rat. The most effective treatment in this study was dose of 50-75 mg/BW in both compositions.&lt;/p&gt;
