This study aimed at evaluating the effects of vanillic acid (VA) and vitamin C (VC) supplementation on DEHP-induced testicular toxicity. Thirty-five adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 7 groups (A\u2013G) (\n                      <jats:italic>n\u2009=\u20095<\/jats:italic>\n                      ) receiving distilled water; 250 mg\/kg bw of DEHP only; 30 mg\/kg bw of VA and 250 mg\/kg bw of DEHP; 30 mg\/kg bw of VC and 250 mg\/kg bw of DEHP; 30 mg\/kg bw of DEHP plus 30 mg\/kg bw of VA and 30 mg\/kg bw of VC; 30 mg\/kg bw of VA only; and 30 mg\/kg bw of VC only, respectively. At the end of the experiment, blood was taken from the heart via cardiac puncture and stored, semen was collected from the caudal epididymis for immediate sperm analysis, while the testes were excised and preserved for histological examination and biochemical analysis. The results showed a significant decrease (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.05) in body weights, sperm motility, sperm volume, sperm viability and count, antioxidant levels, and reproductive hormonal levels, with a significant increase (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.05) in sperm morphological defect and lipid peroxidation level in DEHP-only group compared with the control but was ameliorated after VA and VC administration compared to the DEHP-only treated animals. VA and VC supplementation attenuated the toxic effects of DEHP on the testicular functions, morphology, and semen characterization of the experimental adult male Wistar rats.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Lay summary<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Male infertility is considered when identifiable female causes of infertility are excluded and semen quantity and quality fail to fulfil World Health Organization criteria. From conception through to adulthood, people are exposed to limitless environmental toxicants among which di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) commonly found in personal care products, cosmetics, and medical devices is prevalent. The present study elaborated on the importance of taking antioxidant-rich foods containing vitamin C and vanillic acid, such as those found in various fruits, olives, whole wheat, and cereal grains, in combating infertility caused by environmental toxicants. An experiment was carried out on rats to see the effect of vanillic acid and vitamin C supplementation on preventing DEHP-induced testicular toxicity. The testicles and semen were analyzed from five rats in each treated and control groups. The data led us to conclude that vanillic acid and vitamin C supplementation do have attenuating effects on DEHP-induced testicular toxicity, due to their high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1530\/raf-22-0045","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,18]],"date-time":"2022-08-18T09:06:12Z","timestamp":1660813572000},"page":"220-230","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1530\/crossmarkpolicy-13","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Vanillic acid and vitamin C attenuated di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate-induced testicular toxicity in adult male rats"],"prefix":"10.1530","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"B","family":"Ogunlade","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Behavioral and Aging Lab, Human Anatomy Department, Federal University of Technology Akure, Ondo State, Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S C","family":"Gbotolorun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anatomy Department, University of Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9572-5383","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"O A","family":"Adedotun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Behavioral and Aging Lab, Human Anatomy Department, Federal University of Technology Akure, Ondo State, Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"K","family":"Iteire","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anatomy Department, University of Medical Sciences, Ondo City, Ondo State, Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Adejayi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Behavioral and Aging Lab, Human Anatomy Department, Federal University of Technology Akure, Ondo State, Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"416","reference":[{"key":"bib1","series-title":"Human and Experimental Toxicology","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"232","DOI":"10.1177\/0960327115580602","article-title":"Quercetin attenuates di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate-induced testicular toxicity in adult rats","volume":"35","author":"Abd-Ellah","year":"2016","unstructured":"Abd-Ellah MFAly HAMokhlis HAAbdel-Aziz AH2016Quercetin attenuates di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate-induced testicular toxicity in adult rats.
