Abstract

Background : Curcuma domestica val has many proven properties for traditional medicine against various diseases such as: cholesterol, gastrointestinal disorders and reproductive system. The mechanism curcuma domestica val in reproductive system has not been known. Objective : the current study was aimed to investigate Matriks Metalloproteinase -2 level at time of ovulation after curcuma domestica val. perorally Research Methods/ Implementation Methods : This Study use immature rat model. Immature rats, age 28 days old, by a sigle dose of 10 IU Pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG), and 48 hours later were injected with 10 IU of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG).
