Momordica cochinchinensis (L.) Spreng: Aril Extract Prevents Adverse Reproductive Parameters of Male Rats Induced with Valproic Acid
This study aimed to investigate protective effect of Momordica cochinchinensis (MC) aril extract on adverse reproductive parameters of male rat induced with valproic acid (VPA) commonly used in treatment for antiepileptic diseases. Male Wistar rats were divided into 6 groups (control, VPA, 200 mg/kg...
