Effects of thymoquinone or capsaicin on testicular
malondialdehyde (MDA) content in acrylamide-challenged rats
Acrylamide, drastically increased testicular MDA by more than 4-fold
(418%) compared to control animals. Administration of either TQ or
capsaicin to acrylamide-challenged rats significantly reduced testicular
contents by 58% and 40%, respectively compared to animals that
received acrylamide alone. There was also significant elevation in
testicular MDA level amounted to 43% following co-administration of
capsaicin and acrylamide compared to the group that received TQ and
acrylamide (Table 3) .
