Experimental therapeutic intervention with ascorbic acid in ethanol induced testicular injuries in rats. Indian Journal of Experimental Biology. 2005 Feb; 43(2): 172-6http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/62734Ascorbic acid treatment significantly increased the activities of testicular delta5, 3beta-HSD and 17beta-HSD. Moreover, the treatment was also associated with significant decrease in oxidative stress in the testis. Ethanol induced oxidative stress and decreased steroidogenesis can be reversed by treatment with ascorbic acid.engAdministration, OralAnimalsAntioxidants --therapeutic useAscorbic Acid --therapeutic useBody Weight --drug effectsEthanol --toxicityGlutathione --metabolismGonadal Steroid Hormones --biosynthesisLipid Peroxides --metabolismMaleOxidative Stress --drug effectsRatsTestis --drug effectsJournal Article
