<b>Impacts of <i>Pinus pinaster</i> extract and <i>L. carnitine</i> on gene expression and reproductive efficacy against Mancozebinduced testicular toxicity in male rats</b>
The administration of <i>P. pinaster</i> extract and <i>L. carnitine</i>, individually or in combination, has antioxidant effects against mancozeb-induced toxicity via improvement of seminal quality, regeneration of testicular tissues, and upregulation of FSHr and LHr genes positively influence reproductive hormones. This study is the first to demonstrate that the <i>P. pinaster extract</i> plays a therapeutic role in testicular atrophy caused by the fungicide, mancozeb.
