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.
This study demonstrated the therapeutic potentials of seed oil (CMSO) capable of alleviating BPA-induced dyslipidemia and adipokine dysfunction. In this study, we evaluated the effects of CMSO on adipokine dysfunctions and dyslipidemia in bisphenol-A (BPA)-induced male Wistar rats. Six-week-old 36 albino rats of 100-200 g weight were assigned randomly to six groups, which received varied doses of BPA and/or CMSO.
