Protective effect of trehalose on sperm chromatin condensation failure and semen quality decline in BDE-209-exposed mice.

BDE-209 exposure induced male reproductive toxicity with sperm quality decline. However, the role of autophagy in this was unclear. The purpose was to evaluate the protective effect and its potential mechanism of trehalose (Tre, autophagy inducer) on reproductive damage during spermiogenesis induced by BDE-209.
