Changes in sperm characteristics and induction of oxidative stress in the testis and epididymis of experimental rats by a herbicide, atrazine.

TL;DR: The results suggest that atrazine impairs reproductive function and elicits a depletion of the antioxidant defense system in the testis and epididymis, indicating the induction of oxidative stress.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rutin Ameliorates Cyclophosphamide-induced Reproductive Toxicity in Male Rats.

TL;DR: It appears that RUT ameliorates CYC reproductive toxicity at the investigated dose, and prevents lower sperm counts, sperm motility, DSP, and higher abnormal sperm numbers induced by CYC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kolaviron, a natural flavonoid from the seeds of Garcinia kola, reduces LPS-induced inflammation in macrophages by combined inhibition of IL-6 secretion, and inflammatory transcription factors, ERK1/2, NF-κB, p38, Akt, p-c-JUN and JNK

TL;DR: Kol-v interferes with LPS signalling by reducing the activation of several inflammatory transcription factors and that its inhibitory action on IL-6 secretion correlates with inhibition of ERK1/2, p38, Akt, p-c-JUN and JNK signalling pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rutin- and Selenium-attenuated cadmium-induced testicular pathophysiology in rats:

TL;DR: The results suggest that both RUT and Se do not have synergistic role against Cd-induced testicular injury, although Se was more potent than RUT in the recovery of testosterone levels.
