The effects of Lepidium meyenii on MSG-induced subfertility in male Wistar rats: Targeting oxidative stress, pro-inflammatory cytokines, steroidogenic enzymes, and reproductive hormones regulation

The effects of Lepidium meyenii on MSG-induced subfertility in male Wistar rats: Targeting oxidative stress, pro-inflammatory cytokines, steroidogenic enzymes, and reproductive hormones regulation

Objective and rationale: Although monosodium glutamate (MSG), commonly used to enrich food flavour, is generally considered safe for consumption, evidence has shown its adverse effects on physiological functions, including male reproduction, when consumed excessively. Lepidium meyenii (Maca), on the...
