Exposure to Sucralose and Its Effects on Testicular Damage and Male Infertility: Insights into Oxidative Stress and Autophagy
These findings provide new insights into the adverse effects of sucralose on male reproductive physiology, highlighting its role in disrupting autophagy, inducing oxidative stress, and impairing reproductive function. The environmental persistence of sucralose and its potential leakage into wastewater systems present broader implications for public health and ecological stability. This study underscores the importance of carefully evaluating non-nutritive sweeteners in the diet and calls for stricter food safety regulations and wastewater management practices to mitigate potential risks.. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP15919.
