Abstract

Exposure of testis to 2-BP is known to cause degeneration of male germ cells. However, the mechanism underlying this process is poorly understood. The objective of this study was to determine whether 2-BP induces apoptosis during onset of toxicity in germ cells of male Sprague-Dawley rats.(omitted)
