Gallic acid (GA) is a polyphenol with various pharmacological properties, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Purpose: This research evaluated effects of different doses of GA on DEHP-induced testicular injury in adult mice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Research Design: Male mice were randomly divided into five groups and treated with agents for two weeks; group (I) received normal saline and corn oil (5\u00a0mL\/kg\/day, p. o.), group (II) received DEHP (2\u00a0g\/kg\/day, dissolved in corn oil, p. o.), groups (III, IV, and V) received DEHP + GA (25, 50, and 100\u00a0mg\/kg\/day, p. o.). Body and testes weights, serum testosterone, luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels were evaluated. The number of sperms and sperm motility and viability were analyzed in the cauda epididymis. Histological changes, oxidative\/nitrosative stress markers, and inflammatory cytokines levels were examined in testes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results: Body and testes weights, the number of spermatogonia, primary spermatocyte and early spermatid, and late spermatid and sperm vitality, and progressive motility were significantly reduced in mice exposed to DEHP. Serum testosterone level decreased and serum LH and FSH levels increased in DEHP-exposed mice. These alterations were associated with the increased oxidative stress level and inflammatory responses in testicular tissue. Treatment with GA (50 and 100\u00a0mg\/kg\/day) attenuated DEHP-induced alterations in oxidative stress markers and inflammatory cytokines and reversed abnormality in sperm characteristic and number, tissue structure, and serum hormones levels.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusions: Results indicated that GA might be a promising agent against male gonadal toxicity induced by endocrine disrupting chemicals including DEHP.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/09603271221078867","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,23]],"date-time":"2022-02-23T13:26:30Z","timestamp":1645622790000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Gallic
