All groups, except for the sham group, underwent unilateral testicular IRI. The procedure involved 3 h of right spermatic cord torsion (720\u00b0 clockwise) followed by 3 h of detorsion. Sophocarpine (administered at a dose of 30\u00a0mg\/kg) was given to the rats in the respective treatment groups. The therapeutic effects were evaluated via histological analysis, oxidative stress assessment, inflammatory response measurement, protein analysis, and immunohistochemistry.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Sophocarpine treatment significantly protected the bilateral testes after unilateral testicular torsion\u2013detorsion, as indicated by a reduction in the testis weight\u2010to\u2010body weight (TW\/BW) ratio, testicular volume, and structural damage. Additionally, sophocarpine increased the seminiferous tubule diameter and epithelial height. The treatment also suppressed oxidative stress and inflammatory responses. Notably, sophocarpine inhibited ferroptosis through the AKT signaling pathway, as evidenced by increased phosphorylation of AKT in the testes. Furthermore, the AKT inhibitor wortmannin reversed both the phosphorylation of AKT and the protective effects of sophocarpine on the testes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
