Table 1

Embryonic outcome variables across experimental groups after treatment with the 80% ethanol fruit extract of Embelia schimperi.

Group	Embryonic developmental outcomes
	Morphological score/litter	Number of somites/litters	CRL (mm)/litter
Group I (250 mg/kg)	44.71 ± 0.7	27.91 ± 0.4	4.6 ± 0.3
Group II (500 mg/kg)	44.52 ± 0.8	27.41 ± 0.3	4.4 ± 0.3
Group III (1000 mg/kg)	44.32 ± 0.8	26.99 ± 0.4	4.5 ± 0.2
