Being a vital micronutrient, along with a trace element, selenium (Se) protects the cells from oxidative stress (OS) in the form of selenoproteins. Bisphenol A (BPA) is a xeno-oestrogenic compound that adversely affects the spermatogenesis process by inducing oxidative stress, which ultimately leads to male infertility. Therefore, it is hypothesised that Se could protect against BPA-induced OS, and further germ cell death by modifying mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signalling.

Doxorubicin, a chemotherapeutic drug, is known to disrupt the normal spermatogenesis by excess oxidative stress. The present study describes the curative effects of dietary supplemented selenium on doxorubicin-induced testicular damage in mice. Four groups were included in the study: Group I(C), Group II (Se-0.

The present study aimed to examine the chemoprotective effect of Hydroethanolic  leaves extract (HEMKLE) on murine skin carcinogenesis model. For the study, male LACA mice divided into four groups (n = 15 per group). Group I (Control), Group II (DMBA/TPA), Group III (HEMKLE), and Group IV (HEMKLE + DMBA/TPA).

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a well-known endocrine disruptor that imposees adverse effects on male fertility via interacting with germ cells of testis. Objectives of present study were to investigate the possible protective effects of hydroethanolic Murraya koenigii leaves extract (HEMKLE) against BPA-induced testicular damage and apoptosis in mice. Male Balb/c mice were divided into four different groups: Group I (control), Group II (HEMKLE), Group III (BPA) and Group IV (HEMKLE + BPA).

The present study revealed the effects of Lycopene enriched tomato extract (LycT) on chemically induced skin cancer in mice. Skin tumors were induced by topical application of 7,12-Dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) [500 nmol/100 ul of acetone, twice a week for two weeks] and 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) [1.7 nmol/100 ul of acetone, twice a week for eighteen weeks] and LycT (5 mg/kg b.
