The aim of the present investigation is to analyse the mechanism of action of aqueous extract of seeded papaya fruit pulp and seed extract administered as a combined dose and seedless variety papaya fruit pulp extract on ovarian and uterine function in female albino rats. The experimental animals were divided into three groups, Group - I served as control, experimental Group - II received combined papaya pulp and seed extract from seeded fruits and experimental Group - III received papaya pulp extract from seedless fruits. Experimental groups were orally administered with the extract (1gm / kg / body weight) for 60 days. These results indicate that Carica papaya semi-ripe seeded and seedless fruit pulp extract possess antifertility effects.
