p,p’-DDT induces testicular oxidative stress-induced apoptosis in adult rats

Abstract Background The 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl)ethane (p,p’-DDT) is a known persistent organic pollutant and male reproductive toxicant. The present study is designed to test the hypothesis that oxidative stress mediates p,p’-DDT-induced apoptosis in testis. Methods Male Wistar rats...
