Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how L-arginine protects mouse Leydig cells from apoptosis induced by T-2 toxin.
- Leydig cells were cultured with various treatments, revealing that T-2 toxin decreases cell proliferation and mitochondrial activity while increasing apoptosis-related gene expressions.
- When L-arginine was introduced, it counteracted these effects by improving Bcl-2 levels and lowering Bax, PARP, and caspase-3 expressions, thus blocking the apoptotic pathway triggered by T-2 toxin.
