Platycodon grandiflorum Saponins attenuate scrotal heat-induced spermatogenic damage via inhibition of oxidative stress and apoptosis in mice

The aim of the present study was designed to investigate that Platycodon grandiflorum saponins (PGS) exerted protective effects against testicular injury induced by scrotal hyperthermia. PGS (15, 30 mg/kg) were administered intragastrically to mice for 14 days, then exposed to a single scrotal heat...
