Effects of Pre‐Conception Stress and <i>Dracocephalum moldavica</i> Extract on Sperm Parameters and Sex Hormones in Parents and Offspring
The results indicate that DM extract may have a beneficial effect on some reproductive parameters affected by pre-conception stress. Notably, it was associated with improvements in sperm quality, hormone levels in parents and offspring, and certain vaginal health measures. Further research is needed to confirm these effects and better understand the underlying mechanisms.
