Article Synopsis

Tamoxifen (TAM) is effective against breast cancer and gynecomastia but can harm male testicular function, prompting research on the protective effects of omega-3 fatty acids (O3FA).
In a study with Wistar rats, TAM treatment led to negative impacts on sperm quality and hormonal imbalances, increasing testicular injury and oxidative stress.
O3FA treatment showed potential in reversing TAM-induced testicular damage by influencing key cellular signaling pathways and reducing apoptosis in the testes.
