Sodium arsenite-induced detriment of cell function in Leydig and Sertoli cells: the potential relation of oxidative damage and antioxidant defense system

Arsenic is commonly found in the natural environment and is toxic agent for living organism in many countries in the world. Studies on animal models suggest that exposure to arsenic may cause reproductive toxicity; however, effect of arsenic on reproductive toxicity has still not been clearly described. This study was focused on cytotoxicity, oxidative stress, and the antioxidant defense system induced with exposure to sodium arsenite in Mus...
