Cell protective effects of vitamin C against oxidative stress induced by ciprofloxacin on spermatogenesis: involvement of cellular apoptosis
Vitamin C supplementation effectively mitigated CPFX-induced oxidative stress by significantly reducing MDA levels and enhancing antioxidant defenses, including increased GSH content and CAT enzyme activity. These findings highlight the therapeutic potential of vitamin C in reversing CPFX-induced testicular toxicity by alleviating oxidative stress and restoring testicular function.
