Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the protective effects of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) on the testicular health of rats exposed to smoke from mosquito coils over a 12-week period.
- Thirty male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into three groups: a control group, a group exposed only to mosquito coil smoke, and a group exposed to the smoke while receiving CoQ10.
- Results indicated that exposure to the smoke caused significant testicular damage in the rats, while those receiving CoQ10 showed no significant changes in testicular histology, suggesting that CoQ10 could prevent harm from the smoke.
