  • Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury can cause severe testicular damage and infertility, prompting research on fasudil as a potential protective treatment.
  • The study involved 30 male Long-Evans rats divided into groups to compare the effects of fasudil treatment before and after I/R injury against control and untreated injured groups.
  • Results showed that fasudil significantly reduces indicators of tissue damage and inflammation, especially when given before detorsion, suggesting it offers protection against I/R injury in testicular tissue.

We aimed to define TKP changes as a potential underlying mechanism of psychiatric disorders in post-COVID-19 patients.
