Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to investigate the protective effects of phycocyanin, an extract from blue algae, against male infertility caused by alcohol consumption.
- Male rats were used in the experiment, where some were exposed to ethanol to induce oxidative stress, while others received phycocyanin treatment or both.
- Results indicated that phycocyanin effectively prevented harmful effects on sperm production and testicular health caused by ethanol exposure.
Objective: Androgen deficiency is associated with multiple biochemical and behavioral disorders. This study investigated the effects of testosterone replacement and Spirulina Platensis association on testosterone deficiency-induced metabolic disorders and memory impairment.
Methods: Adult male rats were randomly and equally divided into four groups and received the following treatments for 20 consecutive days.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the protective effects of phycocyanin extract against damage caused by ethanol in male Wistar rats, examining both organ toxicity and cognitive behavior.
- Rats were divided into four groups: a control group, an ethanol group, and two phycocyanin treatment groups receiving different doses, with treatments lasting 14 days.
- Results indicated that phycocyanin significantly reduced the oxidative stress and biochemical changes caused by ethanol, while also improving anxiety levels and exploratory behavior in the rats.
