Effects of thymoquinone or capsaicin on testicular reduced
glutathione (GSH) content in acrylamide-challenged rats
Acrylamide-treated animals exhibited marked reduction in testicular GSH
content by 71% compared to control animals. Concomitant treatment of
acrylamide-challenged rats with either TQ or capsaicin resulted in
significant increases in testicular GSH contents amounted to 111% and
70%, respectively compared to the group that received acrylamide alone.
Further, the animals that received capsaicin and acrylamide exhibited
significant decrease in testicular GSH content amounted to 40% compared
to those administered a combo of TQ and acrylamide (Table 3) .
