Protective Effect of Curcumin Against Nicotine-induced Damage on Reproductive Parameters in Male Mice

Nicotine consumption can decrease fertility drive in males through inducing oxidative stress and DNA damage. The color of turmeric is because of a substance called curcumin for which some anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties have been identified. In this study, various doses of curcumin (...
