Therapeutic potential of virgin coconut oil in mitigating sodium benzoate- model of male infertility: Role of Nrf2/Hmox-1/NF-kB signaling pathway.

Objectives: Male infertility is a major public health issue due to increased prevalence, so there is an urgent need for a therapeutic solution. The search for a natural dietary substance that could modulate redox balance and inflammation and protect testicular function is in demand. Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) has found use in the treatment of diabetes, and cancer owing to the presence of polyphenols.

Morin hydrate downregulates inflammation-mediated nitric oxide overproduction and potentiates antioxidant mechanism against anticancer drug doxorubicin oxidative hepatorenal toxicity in rats.

Objective: Doxorubicin (DOX) is a frontline antineoplastic drug that kills cancer cells through genotoxic mechanism; however, it induces organ toxicities. This study assayed whether morin hydrate (MOH) could abrogate DOX hepatorenal toxicity in rats.

Materials And Methods: There were 4 groups of rats: Control, MOH, DOX and MOH + DOX.

Synergistic Action of Virgin Coconut Oil and Clomiphene in Reversing Endocrine Dysregulation in Letrozole-Model of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome in Rats: Role of Nrf2/HMOX-1 Pathway.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder in women's reproductive age. Currently, the pathophysiology of PCOS is unclear, and the limited treatment options are unsatisfactory. Virgin coconut oil (VCO) is functional food oil associated with pharmacological effects in reproductive disorders.
