Ulexite (UX), a naturally occurring borate mineral, has gained interest for its diverse industrial applications, yet its toxicological profile remains inadequately characterized. This study aimed to evaluate the subacute toxicity of UX in rats, focusing on behavioral, hematological, and biochemical parameters. Rats were administered UX via gavage at doses of 10, 30, and 300 mg/kg for 7 days.

This study investigated the protective effects of p-coumaric acid (PCA) against bisphenol A (BPA)-induced testicular toxicity in male rats. The rats were divided into control, BPA, BPA+PCA50, BPA+PCA100, and PCA100 groups. Following a 14-day treatment period, various analyses were conducted on epididymal sperm quality and testicular tissues.
