Astragalus polysaccharides protect against Di-n-butyl phthalate-induced testicular damage by modulating oxidative stress, apoptosis, and the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway in rats

Astragalus polysaccharides protect against Di-n-butyl phthalate-induced testicular damage by modulating oxidative stress, apoptosis, and the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway in rats

IntroductionDi-n-butyl phthalate (DBP), a common plasticizer, is associated with oxidative stress and male reproductive toxicity. Astragalus polysaccharides (APS) have known antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties, but their role in male reproductive health has not been fully elucidated.Metho...
