Rats that received shilajit before radiation exposure maintained healthier ovarian structures with more normal egg cells compared to rats that only received radiation, with this difference being statistically significant.
Scientific Claim
Shilajit administration at 25 mg/kg/day for 4 days before radiation exposure was associated with preservation of ovarian follicular structure in rats, as evidenced by statistically significant differences in follicle counts between treatment groups (p < 0.001).

Evaluation of preventive effect of shilajit on radiation-induced apoptosis on ovaries
The study quantitatively compared follicle counts across four experimental groups using statistical analysis. The radiation + shilajit group showed significantly better preservation of follicular structure compared to the radiation-only group, with p < 0.001 indicating high statistical significance.
