Morinda officinalis oligosaccharides improves sperm motility via the gut microbiota and the IGF-1/PI3K/mTOR signaling pathway
MOS ameliorates gossypol-induced asthenozoospermia by remodeling the gut microbiota and activating IGF-1/PI3K/mTOR signaling, thereby improving sperm motility and reducing apoptosis. These findings highlight MOS as a promising microbiota-modulating therapeutic strategy for male reproductive dysfunction.
