Effects of exogenous corticosterone on in vivo fertilizing capacity of epididymal sperm and reversal of its adverse impact by tocotrienol in the rat
Elevated corticosterone (CORT) levels are a major indicator of stress. CORT in excess impairs steroidogenesis, and induces both lipid peroxidation and Leydig cell apoptosis. Increased reactive oxygen species levels cause oxidative stress and impair reproductive functions. Tocotrienol is a major chai...
