It is absorbed and hydrolyzed to benzoic acid and benzyl alcohol. Two different doses of BB (25\u00a0mg kg-1 body weight and 100\u00a0mg kg-1 body weight) were orally administered to 5-week old male rats for 90\u00a0days. Histopathological, morphological, hematological, and biochemical assays were performed in toxicological evaluations. Initial\/final body weights, relative organ weights, and food and water consumptions of rats did not change significantly. There were statistically significant differences in terms of monocyte, neutrophil, lymphocyte %, and serum AST levels in control and BB treatment groups. Several histopathological findings were observed in liver, kidney, thymus, prostate, and epididymis tissues of the rats in the treatment groups. Immunohistochemical examinations were also performed in the tissues for fibronectin (FN), type IV collagen, transforming growth factor \u03b2 (TGF-\u03b2), matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2). Alterations in immunolocalization of these markers were observed between the control and the treatment groups. No changes were detected in the sperm count, daily sperm production, and sperm morphology.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/07482337221086133","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,25]],"date-time":"2022-03-25T07:07:44Z","timestamp":1648192064000},"page":"221-233","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Toxicity
