Summary: The effect of aqueous extract of Soy bean(Glycine max) on the function of ovary was studied for the females of rat physiologically.Thirty adult female albino rats were involved in the present study, divided intothree equal groups (n=10). The first group received water orally and served as control. The second group was given aqueous Soy bean (Glycine max) extract at dose:3 mg/ml orally for 14 days and the third group received aqueous Soy bean Glycine max extract at dose:3 mg/ml orally for 30 days.Blood samples have been taken on the fifteenth day and in 31 days for the control group and treated groups. Serum follicle stimulation hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH),estrogen(E2)were estimation. The hormonal study showed a significant increase at (p<0.05) in the level of LH and FSH and a significant decrease at (p<0.05) in the level of E2 in treated groups comparing with control group. Also, there was no death or significant decrease (p>0.05) in body weight was observed during the experimental period in female rats. Conclusions: The results of this study indicate the ability of the Glycin max extract to inhibit the activity of ovary.
