TL;DR

Kefir supplementation substantially ameliorated HFCS-induced alterations, reflected by decreased apoptotic and inflammatory marker expression, improved histological architecture, and partial restoration of spermatogenic activity, suggesting that kefir mitigates HFCS-induced testicular injury through its antiapoptotic and anti-inflammatory effects.

Dexpanthenol Attenuates High-Fructose Corn Syrup-Induced Hepatic Injury in Young Adult Rats by Modulating Oxidative Stress, Apoptosis, and Inflammasome-Associated Pyroptotic Signaling

It is suggested that DEX attenuates HFCS-induced liver injury through a multi-target mechanism involving suppression of oxidative damage, apoptosis, and inflammasome-associated pyroptotic signaling in young adult rats.

Hesperidin Attenuates Deltamethrin-Induced Testicular Damage by Modulating Apoptosis-Associated Signaling and Profibrotic Gene Expression: Biochemical, Molecular, and Histological Evidence

This study aimed to investigate the effect of hesperidin (HSP) at two different doses on deltamethrin (DLM)-induced testicular damage. The study comprised four groups of Wistar Albino rats (n = 8 per group): Control, DLM, DLM + HSP 100 mg/kg, and DLM + HSP 300 mg/kg. At the end of the study, oxidative stress markers an...

Effect of Kiwi Fruit (Actinidia deliciosa) Extract on Histological Structure and Testicular Weight in Monosodium Glutamate-Induced Male Rats

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a widely consumed food additive that has been reported to increase the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), potentially inducing damage to various organs, including the testes. Oxidative stress in the testes may impair histological structure and disrupt the process of spermatogenes...
