Article Synopsis
- - This study explores the impact of Bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine disruptor known to affect male fertility, on the testicular mitochondria of male albino rats and tests the protective effects of seed oil (CMSO).
- - Six groups of rats were used, with varying doses of BPA and CMSO; the study measured mitochondrial enzyme activity, membrane potential, protein levels, and body weight post-exposure.
- - Results showed that BPA reduced key mitochondrial activities and rat body weight, but coadministration of CMSO helped restore these disrupted functions, suggesting CMSO could be a potential treatment for toxins like BPA.
There has been increasing search for the ameliorative properties of seed oils against toxicants. bisphenol A acts as an estrogenic endocrine-disrupting chemical capable of causing male infertility. This study aimed to explore seed oil effects against mitochondrial damage in rats using bisphenol A.
