Ameliorative effects of curcumin against acute cadmium toxicity on male reproductive system in rats.

abstract：:Ghrelin has recently been reported to exert beneficial effects on various oxidative stresses as a result of its antioxidant properties. Therefore, we designed this study to explore the probable antioxidative effects of this peptide in the testis. Twenty-eight male adult Wistar rats were divided into equal control and ...
