A recent study conducted by the Reproductive Physiology Laboratory has found that excessive use of the herbicide paraquat can have detrimental effects on mammalian reproductive toxicity. The study specifically focused on the impact of paraquat on caprine testicular cells and found that it decreased cell viability, induced histological alterations, and increased apoptosis incidences. However, the co-administration of Vitamin E significantly reduced these negative effects, suggesting that Vitamin E may have potential in preventing male gonadotoxicity caused by paraquat use in agriculture. This research provides valuable insights into the potential protective effects of Vitamin E in mitigating the reproductive toxicity of paraquat. [Extracted from the article]
