Preventive Effect of Zinc Against Cadmium-induced Oxidative Stress in the Rat Testis

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant role of zinc (Zn) in the Cd-exposed testes of Wistar rats. Subchronic exposure to Cd (CdCl<sub>2</sub>, 40 mg/l, <i>per os</i>) for 30 days resulted in a significant reduction in growth rate (-11%) and relative weights of testes (-36%) and seminal vesicles (-80%). Treated rats displayed a decrease in testicular and plasma testosterone levels, respectively (-70%, P
