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.

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.

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).

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).
