  • * Male rats were subjected to testicular torsion-detorsion with varying treatments, including saline, HO-1 inducer hemin, and HO-1 inhibitor tin protoporphyrin, allowing researchers to assess tissue damage and biochemical changes at specific time points.
  • * Results showed that torsion-detorsion led to significant tissue injury and increased harmful substances, but hemin greatly improved HO-1 levels, reducing damage, whereas the inhibitor tin protoporphyrin negated these
